There is provided a control system (200), a vehicle (1), a method (700), (800) and computer software (208) for controlling a powered vehicle load space cover (101), the control system comprising one or more controllers (201), the control system configured to: request (704) an actuator (104) to deploy the powered vehicle load space cover to a target position (RP), (EP); receive (703), (714), (720) from a first sensing means (600), (602) a position feedback signal (604A), (604B) during the deployment, indicative of how far the actuator has deployed the powered vehicle load space cover; continue (704) to request the deployment until (722) a calibrated target value (CTV1), (CTV2) of the position feedback signal is reached, indicating that the target position has been reached; monitor (802) whether a recalibration condition is satisfied; and based on satisfaction of the recalibration condition, cause (804-814) a recalibration of the target value, wherein the recalibration comprises: requesting (806) the actuator to deploy the powered vehicle load space cover until a physical travel stop is reached; receiving 808 from a second sensing means (210) a calibration reference signal, different from the position feedback signal, that is configured to indicate when the physical travel stop is reached; and in dependence on the calibration reference signal indicating (810) the physical travel stop, modifying (812), (814) the target value relative to a value of the position feedback signal corresponding to the physical travel stop.
