Steering column adjustment lock-up protection function - GF46.15-P-3003T

MODEL 211.0 /2 with CODE (275a) Memory package (driver's seat, steering column, mirrors) 

Lockup recognition 

On the steering column one Hall sensor each is located on the longitudinal adjustment motor, forward and back (M20m1) and on the height adjustment motor, up and down (M20m2). Lockup is recognized if despite a manual adjustment request via the steering column adjustment switch (S59) no change in position of the steering column is detected by the Hall sensors.

Anti-lock device 

If the longitudinal adjustment motor, forwards and backwards (M20m1) or height adjustment motor, up and down (M20m2) locks up during an adjustment function triggered via the steering column adjustment switch (S59) or during the adjustment of a stored position, the corresponding motor is switched off after 2.5 seconds.

Switching on again in the same adjustment direction is only permitted after releasing the steering column adjustment switch (S59) for more than 2.5 seconds.

A restart in the opposite direction of adjustment is possible right away.
