Said system comprises at least one drive element, in order to open and close the folding top or displaceable vehicle roof, at least one position sensor, which continuously detects the position of one element of the folding top or displaceable vehicle roof over at least a partial area of its trajectory and a control device, which receives a signal from the position sensor(s) and generates a signal for controlling the drive element(s), taking into consideration the signals of the position sensor(s). To determine the position of any element of the folding top or displaceable vehicle roof in relation to another displaceable element of said folding top or displaceable vehicle roof, or in relation to an element that is fixed on the vehicle, the position sensor(s) is/are configured as a linear sensor.
