Abstract

A method of controlling a sliding roof, where braking of a vehicle is detected by a controller of the sliding roof device, and the pinch protection, i.e., the closing force limiter, is corrected so that faulty reversal of the sliding roof is suppressed when the vehicle is decelerating and the roof is being closed at the same time.
