DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY CLOSING A POWER ROOF OF A VEHICLE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A motor vehicle has a power roof which can either rotate between a first open position and a closed position or translate between a second open position and the closed position. An electric motor for opening and closing the roof operates from a battery of the vehicle and is connected to the battery by a circuit which can be closed by either of two switches. When one of these switches is closed while the roof is in its closed position, the motor opens the roof by rotation. Closing of this same switch when the roof is translated from the closed position causes the motor to translate the roof towards the closed position. When the second switch is closed while the roof is in its closed position, the motor opens the roof by translation. On the other hand, closing of the second switch when the roof is rotated from its closed position causes the motor to rotate the roof towards the closed position. The vehicle is equipped with a security system which also operates from the battery and, upon activation, sends a signal to the circuit connecting the motor to the battery. In response to this signal, the circuit issues a sequence of four pulses. The first pulse is short and briefly actuates one of the switches. The second pulse, which is at least as long as the first pulse but can be considerably longer, actuates the other switch. The third pulse, which is again short, briefly actuates the latter switch once more. The fourth and final pulse, which is at least as long as the third pulse but can be considerably longer, again actuates the switch previously actuated by the first pulse. This sequence of pulses causes the roof to close completely regardless of the position of the roof at the time the security system is activated.
