A motor arrangement with a door which can be swung between a closed and open position, including a door locking arrangement having an electrically actuated door latch configured to be moved between a locked and unlocked position, and a push-open arrangement for pushing open the door body from its closed position. The push-open arrangement includes a plunger, an actuator driving the plunger, and a controller configured to unlock the door locking arrangement when an electronic opening request is received and then electrically supply the actuator in a normal mode, such that the swing door is pushed from its closed to open position. The controller is configured to switch to a crash mode and to supply the actuator with an electrical power which is increased by at least 50% compared to the normal power when an opening request is received.

An adjustable tailgate support contains a fixed inner tube, which is connected to a lower housing part and on which is arranged a spiral spring. The spiral spring on the one hand is supported at the lower end on a setting element held on the inner tube and, on the other hand, is held fixed at a remote, upper, free end in the upper housing part. An increase or reduction in the spring force of the spiral spring can be set by turning the setting element, which has a supporting ring, on an external thread of the fixed inner tube.

Adjustable tailgate support

A motor vehicle with at least one air guide device, which can be extended by means of a drive device, and which can be adjusted to at least one intermediate position between a maximally extended and a completely retracted position. The motor vehicle comprises an adjustable sliding/tilting roof, wherein a control unit is provided, which is designed so that it acts on an air guide element of the air guide device as a function of the position of the sliding/tilting roof.

Motor vehicle

A tailgate of a motor vehicle has an extensible wind-deflecting device which, in its non-use position, is preferably arranged, so as to lie within an outer contour, in a stowage space. Here, the tailgate is formed substantially from an inner and an outer panel, with a collecting device, which is connected to the inner and to the outer panel and which is arranged in the region of the stowage space, being provided for collecting water which has infiltrated into the stowage space.

An operating device for a motor vehicle lock having a door lock actuator includes a grip plate and a grip with one bearing arm that extends through the grip plate and is swivellably linked to a rear side of the grip plate via a bearing block by way of a plug-type shaft. A securing element for the plug-type shaft secures the latter against sliding-out. A protective covering, which at least partially covers the rear side of the grip plate, has at least one extension that serves as a securing element and is situated next to an end of the plug-type shaft.

A rear wing for a motor vehicle has a wing roof and a wing bottom formed as a hollow body. A reinforcing structure is arranged inside the hollow body and has several upright webs, of which at least one cross web extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle is connected with the interior surface of the wing bottom. At least one drainage opening is provided in the wing bottom. In order to be able to drain water penetrating into the hollow body, the at least one cross web has a plane web surface which forms a wall of a water channel, and the at least one opening is arranged in the course of the water channel.

A method and apparatus for unlocking a trunk lid of a motor vehicle is suggested which ensures that a person in the interior of the trunk can free himself from this trunk. For this purpose, an unlocking handle is provided in the interior which, when it is operated and the vehicle is standing still, unlocks the trunk lid. If, when the unlocking handle is operated, the vehicle is driving, a delay time is started after whose expiration the trunk lid is released.

An air guiding device for a motor vehicle includes an air guiding element that is displaceable by a deployment device, between operative and inoperative positions. In its inoperative position, it is lowered with respect to a stationary vehicle body shell and, in its operative position it is deployed outward, projecting beyond the vehicle body shell. The deployment device has at least one deployment element with a deployment arm that is displaceably disposed in a guide housing. The air guiding element is arranged on the fastening end of the deployment arm. The deployment element is equipped with a manually operable adjusting device in order to align the air guiding element in its inoperative position relative to the vehicle body shell. To adjust the air guiding element in its inoperative position relative to the vehicle body shell, the deployment element has an internal or external-thread section on its fastening end as an adjusting arrangement. The latter extends in the longitudinal direction of the tilt-out element and has an adjusting device screwed thereon, which adjusting device has a counterthread section. The air guiding element is fastened to the free end of the adjusting device.
