Patent attributes
A method for detecting potential pinches caused by at least one powered movable panel between a closed position and an open position, using a round including measuring a physical quantity, representative of a panel movement, when the panel is moved towards the closed position, determining if there is a lack of steadiness in said physical quantity relative to a previous round and, if not, starting a new round, determining if said lack of steadiness was already present during the previous round and, if not, storing at least one current parameter specific to the panel movement as a reference value, and starting a new round, and detecting a potential pinch if a second difference between the current parameter and the reference value is greater than or equal to a pinching threshold value, otherwise starting a new round.
