ABSTRACT:
A device for sensing a position of a spoiler on a motor vehicle, where the spoiler is moved with a drive unit between a retracted setpoint base position and an extended setpoint operating position. At least one sensor is provided with which at least one of the setpoint positions of the spoiler can be sensed, and which generates first position signals on the basis of the sensed setpoint position. An adjustment position sensing device is provided which senses a current position of the spoiler, and which generates second position signals on the basis of the sensed current position. An evaluation unit evaluates the first position signals and the second position signals, and which actuates, on the basis of the evaluation result, an information device which provides the driver with information about the state of at least one of the position sensing devices and/or actuates the drive unit.
