Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device for raising a body component of a motor vehicle, especially an engine hood, from a starting position into a receiving position can be returned to an operative state by opening and closing the body component after actuation. A method to operate such a device has the following steps: The device is activated, with the result that the body component is raised; it is recognized that the body component can be lowered again, whereupon a deactivation mechanism is actuated, with the result that the body component is lowered; the body component is opened and closed again, with the result that the device is returned to an operative state. Preferably, the device has a spring that relaxes when the body component is raised and that is tensioned when the body component is opened and closed.
