A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights including an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module, and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps.

A recreational vehicle control apparatus and a recreational vehicle are provided. The recreational vehicle control apparatus includes a first controlled switch configured to generate a first output signal in response to receiving a first control signal, and switch a polarity of the first output signal based on a status of the first control signal. A second controlled switch is configured to generate a second output signal in response to receiving the first control signal. The second controlled switch outputs the second output signal to a first controlled end of a controlled object group. A third controlled switch is configured to generate a third output signal in response to receiving the second control signal and the first output signal transmitted by the first controlled switch. The third controlled switch outputs the third output signal to a second controlled end of the controlled object group. The present application may save wires and equipment with high integration level and small space occupation.

A lighting device is provided for controlling the photometric distribution of light emitted by two or more LEDs. The lighting device may be integrated with a control system of the vehicle and may be controlled by a remote controller. The lighting device may be capable of being operated in one or more modes of operation based on operating conditions, user input, or both. Operating conditions may include vehicle conditions, environmental conditions, and user conditions. The controller may operate a software application to enable the user to modify, control, or otherwise regulate any mode of operation or other feature of the lighting system.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element sub-assembly having a mirror reflective element, a mirror reflector, a mirror back plate, and indicator element. The indicator element includes a housing and a light source. The indicator element is associated with a blind spot detection system of the vehicle and includes a diffuser that diffuses light emitted by the light source. An icon is established through a metallic reflector coating disposed at the glass substrate. The icon includes a light-transmitting aperture. When the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached at the vehicle, the icon is at an upper quadrant of the mirror reflective element. When the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached at the vehicle and when the light source is activated, the icon is illuminated and is viewable by the driver of the vehicle.

A system for controlling a function of a vehicle by activation of a vehicle button includes a vehicle component configured to receive a signal and to perform an electrical or mechanical function in response to receiving the signal. The system further includes a physical structure located on an exterior of the vehicle and having an integrated button such that at least one of manual actuation of or physical proximity to the physical structure initiates a button selection event. The system further includes an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the vehicle component and to the integrated button and configured to identify the button selection event and to transmit the signal to the vehicle component in response to identifying the button selection event to cause the vehicle component to perform the electrical or mechanical function.

A method and system for a camera based hands free power liftgate is described herein. The system may power on following a key approach and/or the doors unlocking and then initialize. If there is an approach detected, the lights may be activated and the gesture detection feature of the system may then determine whether a gesture was detected. If a gesture was detected, the liftgate may then be activated. If no gesture was detected, the lights may be activated. For example, if there is a key approach, the system may power and initialize. The system may then determine whether an approach is detected. If an approach is detected, lights of the vehicle may activate and a determination whether a gesture is detected is made. If a gesture is detected, a liftgate of the vehicle may be activated.

A stop assist device is equipped with an operation switch that is operated to activate and deactivate a hazard lamp of a vehicle. The stop assist device starts stop assist control for stopping the vehicle through automatic deceleration of the vehicle and starts activating the hazard lamp from an abnormality detection timing when it is determined that an abnormality condition that is fulfilled when a driver falls into an abnormal state in which the driver is unable to drive the vehicle is fulfilled. The stop assist device continues to perform stop assist control when the operation switch is operated before the lapse of a predetermined invalid time from the abnormality detection timing during the performance of stop assist control, and ends stop assist control when the operation switch is operated after the lapse of the invalid time from the abnormality detection timing during the performance of stop assist control.

A lighting device is provided for controlling the photometric distribution of light emitted by two or more LEDs. The lighting device may be integrated with a control system of the vehicle and may be controlled by a remote controller. The lighting device may be capable of being operated in one or more modes of operation based on operating conditions, user input, or both. Operating conditions may include vehicle conditions, environmental conditions, and user conditions. The controller may operate a software application to enable the user to modify, control, or otherwise regulate any mode of operation or other feature of the lighting system.

Various example embodiments relating to customizing a light profile of a mining vehicle are provided. A user may select which lights of the mining vehicle are activated in different light modes of the mining vehicle. In an embodiment, the user may switch between two or more light profiles. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are also provided.

Provided is a fog light unit of a vehicle that facilitates attachment and detachment of a light section attached to the vehicle body and is excellent in operability of the portable light. A fog light unit includes a base fixed to a body of the saddle vehicle and a light section that is detachable from the base. The light section has a built-in battery. The base and the light section are connected with a slide mechanism including a guide rail and an engaging portion that slides along the guide rail for engagement. The fog light unit further includes a lock mechanism configured to prohibit a slide motion of the slide mechanism, and the lock mechanism includes a lock pin that protrudes and retracts, and an engagement hole, with which the lock pin engages.
