Abstract

Proposed are a method and an apparatus for controlling a sliding and lifting sunroof device, which has a protection against wedging during closing of the cover (12) of the sliding and lifting sunroof from its raised position to its closed position, and which detects a situation of wedging of an object (20) wedged between the cover (12) and the opening of the sliding and lifting sunroof with the help of a sensor (34). Furthermore, for detecting a situation of wedging, provision is made for a water duct (18), which is movably arranged on the roof (14) of the motor vehicle within the opening of the sliding and lifting sunroof.
