Abstract

See full text

In a vehicle having a body movable relative to another vehicle member and a control system for automatically selecting an operational mode of the body, the body may be moved by a hoist system having at least a first mode in which the body is moved under power, and a second mode in which the body moves under its own weight. An inertia measurement unit may be used to determine body position and a control system may automatically engage the second mode if the body position is at a first predetermined body position and the first mode is already engaged.
