A method for monitoring condition of a door on a vehicle, the door includes a first panel, a second panel, a first motor, a second motor, a first striker/latch assembly, and a second striker/latch assembly. The method includes steps of generating status indicators and communicating those indicator to a computer on the vehicle. The computer processes those status indicators to determine action regarding the vehicle.

An actuation transmission mechanism comprising a transmitting member that is pivotably supported to pivot in at least one driving direction from a predetermined initial position to be capable of transmitting its pivoting motion to a transmitted member that is pivotably supported in the vicinity of the transmitting member to pivot in at least one driven direction from a predetermined driven initial position, wherein the transmitting member has a formation such that when the transmitting member pivots from the initial position in the one driving direction, the transmitting member abuts against the transmitted member to make the transmitted member pivot in the one driven direction from the driven initial position to a predetermined detection position, and thereafter, though the transmitting member subsequently pivots in the one driving direction further, the transmitting member does not make the transmitted member pivot overly to a large extent in the one driven direction from the detection position.

A vehicle theft prevention device includes: a device control unit that starts, when performing exit processing for causing a vehicle to move from a parking position to a user position by an autonomous driving control of the vehicle in response to an exit instruction to the vehicle from a terminal of the user outside the vehicle, performing first change processing for changing a state of facilities in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle from a theft prevention state in which theft of the vehicle and articles in the vehicle cabin is prevented to a normal state in which the vehicle is able to be driven by the user such that the first change processing ends when the vehicle arrives at the user position.

A lock system for a vehicle includes an electronic control module, an actuator in communication with the electronic control module, a lock member movable between an unlocked position and a locked position by the actuator, a sensor for sensing at least one of a current and a voltage supplied from the electronic control module to the actuator, and a processor configured to execute lock verification logic to determine whether the lock member moved from the unlocked position to the locked position based on the at least one of the current and the voltage sensed by the sensor.

A system and a method for controlling opening and closing of a charging door of a vehicle are provided. The system includes a switch sensor that is mounted at the charging door to receive a pressing signal when the charging door switch of the vehicle is pressed. A controller determines whether a door lock of the vehicle is in a locked state to operate the charging door switch of the vehicle. When the door lock of the vehicle is in an unlocked state and the charging door switch of the vehicle is continuously pressed for more than a predetermined time, the controller processes the received pressing signal to determine whether the received pressing signal received is caused by a user manipulation. The charging door is opened when the pressing signal is caused by the user manipulation.
