The disclosure provides an automotive door pedal, including a stepping portion, a support rod, a pin shaft and a support block. A hook is arranged at a front end of the stepping portion and mounting portions are arranged at a lower end thereof, which forms a mounting region. A regulating groove is formed in the mounting portion, where there is a head of the support rod, contacting with a lower bottom surface of the stepping portion when unfolding. The pin shaft movably connects the support rod in the mounting region, contacting with a sidewall of the regulating groove when unfolding. The support block is rotatably hinged to a lower end of the support rod and contact with the door frame when unfolding. The automotive door pedal of the disclosure enjoys compact structure, strong support force and is convenient to use, so it can be widely used by different automobiles.

A vehicle including a rear bumper having an upper surface, a power source, and a heating element in communication with the power source is provided. The heating element extends in a vehicle lateral direction and along substantially an entire portion of the upper surface of the rear bumper. The heating element may operable when a tailgate is in a closed position. Thus, debris, such as ice, dirt, and the like, accumulating on the upper surface of the rear bumper may be melted by the heating element prior to the tailgate opening. The heating element may be configured to heat substantially an entire portion of the upper surface of the rear bumper. The heating element may be configured to heat upon a condition being satisfied such as, for example, a vehicle start operation or outside temperature being below a predetermined threshold.
