Abstract

Title: Device for adjusting an adjustable part, position detector, vehicle and method EXCERPT The invention relates to a device for adjusting an adjustable part. The device comprises a base part, in particular for attachment to the bodywork of the motor vehicle, on which a support frame is mounted by means of an adjustment mechanism. Thus, the support frame is adjustable relative to the base part along an adjustment range. Furthermore, the device comprises a position detector for determining the adjustment position of the support frame relative to the base part. The position detector has a potentiometer with a measuring track, a reading track and a reading slide coupled to the support frame or the base part, which moves along the measuring track in electrical contact with the measuring track and the reading track when the support frame is adjusted.The potentiometer also features a starting and / or ending slider adjustable along the measuring track, which respectively defines a starting and ending position of the support frame along the adjustment range.
