Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and a device for operating a device that is mountable on the rear side of a motor vehicle body, for coupling a trailer and/or a load carrier unit, comprising a holding arm, which during operation is firmly connected at a first end to the motor vehicle body and at a second end carries a coupling element for the trailer and/or the load carrier unit, wherein during operation forces acting on the coupling element and transmitted from the holding arm to the motor vehicle body are detected by an evaluation unit using deformation sensors, wherein the holding arm has at least two deformation regions of which the deformation behavior in the event of a force acting on the holding arm is detected in each case by at least one deformation sensor that is rigidly coupled to the respective deformation region of the holding arm and as a result detects its deformation behavior.
