Abstract
A vehicle stowage assembly having a housing, a door and a retaining device. The housing has an opening. The door is movable between a closed position and an open position. The retaining device includes a ferromagnetic element, a permanent magnet, an electromagnet, a control unit and a detection device. The electromagnet is magnetically coupled to the ferromagnetic element and/or to the permanent magnet. The control unit controls the electromagnet the electromagnet to reduce the magnetic attraction between the housing and the door to a stop value of less than the nominal value during a stopping period following the detection of the arrival of the door near the closed position. The detection device is able to supply a signal representing the arrival of the door in the closed position to the control unit.
