The One-Touch Up convenience feature utilizes an indirect detection system that automatically monitors window regulator motor speed and direction. When an obstacle enters the path of the automatically closing window, a force of less than 100N triggers the motor to reverse direction, lessening the likelihood of serious injury. The system includes safeguards to avoid mis-reversal under irregular road conditions, hardened circuitry to protect against sudden voltage drops or changes in dynamic voltage, and smart thermal overload protection to minimize motor overheating. Prior to customer shipment, Brose North America fully tests the One-Touch Up system. The One-Touch Up system including obstacle detection is only deactivated when the closing switch is continuously held.

    Brose North America's algorithm recognition standards are programmed into an electronic unit, which is fully integrated into the window regulator motor. The algorithm is adaptively engineered to adjust to variable voltages, temperatures and window seal wear.

    Brose designed and developed the first anti-trapping system and now has more than 13 years of experience in series production. The company holds approximately 75 percent of the European anti-trapping window regulator market, and has sold more than 80 million One-Touch Up electronic systems to customers in Europe, Asia and South America. Jan Kowal, President of Brose North America, stated: "We are enthusiastic about the North American market's positive response to implementation of the One-Touch Up system."

    Worldwide, Brose supplies over 40 OEMs and Tier One manufacturers with intelligent systems and modules for vehicle doors and seats. Nearly 5,000 employees at 15 locations in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa are engaged in the production and development of window regulators, door modules and seat adjuster systems.
