Auto window switch and obstacle detect/protect with override

摘要

A control system and method for operating an automobile window to provide anti-trap protection in an AUTO UP mode, wherein a switch assembly (16, 18) communicates switch signals representative operator commands by disposition in distinct positions. A sensor (22) that detects when an object is trapped between the window (26) and the frame (28), and transmits an anti-trap signal representative thereof A logic circuit (50) receives the switch signals and the anti-trap signal and controls the drive assembly for the window in response thereto. The switch assembly includes a switch (20) to override the anti-trap sensor for closing the window even when an obstruction is sensed during the closing operation.
