Zusammenfassung:	A dual hinged door assembly for a vehicle is provided, the assembly including an upper door portion that pivots about a primary axis formed by its juncture with a structural member in the roof, and a lower door portion that pivots about a secondary axis formed by its juncture with the upper door portion. Primary and secondary drive systems provide independent powered motion of the upper and lower door portions. A controller monitors door switch activation and determines whether activation corresponds to a door open or door closed command; performs preset door opening and closing sequences using the drive systems; and modifies the preset door opening and closing sequences based on data from proximity sensors, pinch sensors, latch sensors, drive system motor speed and the current draw by the drive systems.
