METHOD FOR ACTUATING AT LEAST ONE FLUID ACTUATOR IN A MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT SYSTEM

A method for actuating a fluid actuator in a motor vehicle seat system having a motor vehicle seat and a pneumatic system for actuating a seat function. The pneumatic system has a pump and the fluid actuator housed in the motor vehicle seat. The pump motor is an electric motor controlled by a PWM signal and is set up to fill the fluid actuator with fluid within a filling phase. The pneumatic system is set up to withdraw fluid from a fluid actuator filled with fluid, in an emptying phase. The fluid actuator runs through a plurality of filling phases and emptying phases in succession. The duty cycle of the PWM signal is set to a working level during a filling phase and is lowered to a lower level between filling phases. The lower level is dimensioned such that the rotor of the pump motor can still rotate.
