<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic opening/closing device for a vehicle, which can prevent a pinch by a sliding door that carries out opening operation with its door glass kept open, to thereby enhance the safety thereof. <P>SOLUTION: The sliding door having the openable door glass is automatically opened/closed by the opening/closing device driven by an electric motor as a driving source. When the door glass is opened at a predetermined opening or more, the movable range of the sliding door is limited to an intermediate location by a stopper. When the load of the electric motor for driving the sliding door assumes a pinch determination value or more, detection of a pinch is determined, and therefore the sliding door carries out pinch avoiding operation. When the door glass is kept open, if the sliding door approaches the intermediate location to an extent that is within an operation inhibited range, detection of the pinch is once inhibited. Then after the inhibition of detection of the pinch, if the sliding door is moved in excess of the intermediate location, detection of the pinch is re-started. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
