Motor vehicle roof enables a rapid closure process to be triggered in a hazard situation without requiring excessive alterations to the roof structure or drive

摘要

The roof has a roof aperture (12), at least one closure element (14) for optionally closing or partially opening the aperture, an electrical displacement drive (18) for the closure element, a sensor arrangement (24) for detecting a situation adversely affecting the safety of the vehicle occupants and generating a corresp. hazard signal and a rapid-acting closure device (22) coupled to the sensor arrangement that causes the closure element to close in the event of a hazard signal. The closure arrangement has a device for producing an electrical voltage several times greater than the normal drive voltage and for applying it to the drive. An Independent claim is also included for a method of closing a sliding roof.
