Abstract

An apparatus and a method are proposed which serve to correct a limit value (16) of the closing force limitation, particularly for a sliding roof. The apparatus and the method comprise an air pressure sensor (14) from whose signals are determined a reference pressure (19) by means of averaging and pressure changes as deviations from this reference pressure. An electronic control unit (12) changes the limit value (16) of the closing force limitation as a function of the pressure conditions.
