METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MOTOR-DRIVEN FLAP ASSEMBLY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

A method for actuating a motor-driven flap assembly of a vehicle. A control assembly is provided for actuating a motor drive assembly which is paired with the flap assembly, and a distance sensor which is coupled to the control assembly is also provided. Sensor signals are detected by the distance sensor in order to detect an operator action carried out by an operator of the vehicle, wherein the sensor signals are analyzed by the control assembly in an analysis routine in order to detect a specified operator action, and the chive assembly is actuated by the control assembly upon detecting the specified operator action. In some embodiments, when a specified charging criterion is satisfied, the analysis routine is carried out by the control assembly in a specified charging mode, in which the analysis of the sensor signals is modified on the basis of an analysis during a normal operation.
