ICE BREAKING STRATEGY FOR VEHICLE SIDE WINDOWS

摘要

Described herein is a vehicle side window system and method for implementing an ice breaking strategy. The ice breaking strategy receives and analyzes sensor information from one or more environmental sensors to determine when to preemptively implement an ice breaking routine. The ice breaking strategy is also capable of monitoring one or more components of the vehicle side window system to determine when to cease the ice breaking routine.

主权项

1. A vehicle comprising:
a sensor configured to sense an environmental condition; a motor configured to move a window; and a control unit configured to:
operate in an off state before receiving a wake up signal;receive the wake up signal enabling the control unit to receive sensor information from the sensor;receive the sensor information, the sensor information identifying an environmental condition sensed by the sensor;analyze the sensor information by comparing the environmental condition to an environmental condition limit;determine the ice breaking condition is satisfied when the environmental condition satisfies the environmental condition limit; andcontrol the motor to rotate according to an ice breaking routine when the ice breaking condition is satisfied.
