Limiting opening angle of pivotable vehicle door involves measuring distance of door from obstruction with electronic measurement technique, automatically limiting door opening if required

摘要

The method involves measuring the distance of the door or doors from an obstruction with an electronic measurement technique and automatically limiting door opening depending on the distance available or an evaluated safety distance from the obstruction. The limit on the door opening is only maintained for a short period. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.
