A motor vehicle includes a window and a body having a storage space with an opening facing toward the window. A flexible electronic display is movable from a first position overlying the window and a second position within the storage space. The window may be a windshield, and the storage space may be within a roof of the vehicle.

A vehicle control device incorporating a plurality of vehicle control elements, at least one control apparatus to alter a functionality of the vehicle control elements, each of the vehicle control elements adapted in use to control a valve in a hydraulic line, in which each vehicle control element incorporates a vehicle control display element, the vehicle control display element indicating whether the functionality of the vehicle control element may be altered. This allows a driver when looking at the vehicle control element easily to see from the vehicle control display element whether the functionality of the vehicle control element may be changed.

A vehicle control device incorporating at least one vehicle control element and a vehicle terminal is disclosed, the at least one vehicle control element being adapted to control a functionality of a vehicle implement or tool, the vehicle terminal incorporating a terminal display, the terminal display being adapted to alter the functionality of the vehicle implement or tool associated with the vehicle control element, the terminal display also indicating the functionality associated with the vehicle control element, wherein the vehicle control element incorporates a vehicle control display element, the vehicle control display element indicating whether the functionality of the vehicle control element has been altered. This enables a driver when looking at the vehicle control element easily to see from the vehicle control display element whether the functionality of the vehicle control element has been altered.

An earth working machine (10), for example a road milling machine (10), recycler, stabilizer, or surface miner, having a propelling unit (22) and a machine frame (12) carried by the propelling unit (22), comprises a working apparatus (32) for earth working; an operator's platform (24), having an operating console (26) for controlling at least one functional device (32) of the earth working machine (10), being provided on the machine frame (12); the operating console (26) comprising a console body (52) and an operating panel (54, 66) that is movable relative to the console body (52) and has at least one operating element (58) associated or associatable with a functional device (32, 39) for control thereof. Provision is made according to the present invention that the operating panel (54, 66) is displaceable into a stowed position in which the at least one operating element (58) is covered by a portion (56a, 72a) of the console body (52), the operating panel (54, 66) being displaceable out of the stowed position into an operating position in which at least one operating element (58) is uncovered and is therefore accessible for operation thereof by a machine operator.

An air flap apparatus for a motor vehicle having a driving force source to drive a plurality of air flaps between their operating positions; the apparatus having at least two sub-groups of air flap(s) which are displaceable separately from one another between their operating positions but are drivable by the shared driving force source; there being arranged between the driving force source and the at least two sub-groups a gated control configuration which in order to transfer driving force to different sub-groups has, on a groove carrier rotatable around a rotation axis, at least two control grooves embodied separately and arranged at a distance from one another, into each of which a control pin penetrates, each combination of control pin and control groove being motion-transferringly coupled to a different sub-group, the at least two control grooves are embodied on an enveloping surface of the groove carrier at an axial distance from one another and are coded such that for two sub-groups, they permit at least four different combinations of operating positions.

A brake lever support structure includes: a brake lever movable between a working position at which a parking brake of an off-road vehicle works and a cancel position at which the parking brake is cancelled; and an interior panel defining an inner surface of a cabin of the off-road vehicle. The brake lever extends from inside of the cabin to outside of the cabin through the interior panel. The interior panel includes a stopper that contacts the brake lever at the cancel position to restrict movement of the brake lever.

On the basis of information detected from a peripheral situation detecting section and information from an automatic driving support section, a display control section generates image data in which marks for driving support of an own vehicle are drawn so as to be superposed on a forward situation diagram that shows a situation at a front side. Further, from information detected by an eye detecting section and from the image data, the display control section sets a vanishing point in accordance with a height position of eyes and computes a display image. Moreover, on the basis of the information detected by the eye detecting section, the display control section causes a display image to be displayed on the front windshield glass by a HUD such that the vanishing point is set in accordance with the height position of the eyes.

Methods and systems are provided for a vehicle comprising, during a first condition comprising when an active grille shutter (AGS) position change over a second interval is less than a threshold position change: stalling an AGS motor for a first interval; calculating a fuel economy change over the first interval; and determining a degradation of an AGS sensor based on the fuel economy change being greater than a threshold fuel economy change over the first interval. In this way, various degradation modes of the AGS including faulty AGS position sensors and a mechanical AGS degradation can be differentiated. Furthermore, in the event of an AGS position sensor degradation, the AGS position can be inferred so that operation of the AGS and the fuel consumption reduction advantages conferred therefrom can be preserved.

An operating element arrangement for a motor vehicle, with an operating element and an attachment device for connecting the operating element to a body of the motor vehicle. The operating element is mounted on the attachment device so as to be displaceable along an actuation path. An adjustment device for adjusting the actuation path has a first adjustment element, a second adjustment element frictionally coupled to the first adjustment element, an adjustment element end stop for limiting the actuation path and a threaded device. The first adjustment element is mounted so as to be rotatable over a first range of rotation angles and the second adjustment element over a second range of rotation angles about a common axis of rotation.

A brake lever support structure includes: a brake lever movable between a working position at which a parking brake of an off-road vehicle works and a cancel position at which the parking brake is cancelled; and an interior panel defining an inner surface of a cabin of the off-road vehicle. The brake lever extends from inside of the cabin to outside of the cabin through the interior panel. The interior panel includes a stopper that contacts the brake lever at the cancel position to restrict movement of the brake lever.
