Abstract

A method and apparatus for determining the position of a motor-driven actuating part, in particular a window, a sliding roof, a boot lid, a sliding door or a seat, wherein a current position is determined and, in order to determine the current position, a position newly determined for this purpose is taken into account in conjunction with a last valid position, wherein the current position is selected to be between these two positions and closer to that position which has a comparatively lower uncertainty.
