METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A method controls a functional device of a motor vehicle by a control device. The control device has a rotary actuator which is rotationally mounted on a retaining element. The rotary actuator has at least one coding element. With the method an absolute rotational angle is detected between the rotary actuator and the retaining element based on a coding of the at least one coding element. A plurality of latch positions are defined for the rotary actuator in the rotational direction thereof. The respective latch position and the absolute rotational angle between two of the latch positions are detected, based on the coding of the at least one coding element. The functional device is controlled in accordance with the detected absolute rotational angle if the rotary actuator is between two of the latch positions.
