A rocker switching control element for electrical sliding roofs on a vehicle overhead panel has an actuation rocker formed as a switch with switching positions and is arranged on a substantially planar control panel. The actuation rocker is recessed such that it does not project beyond the panel edge region. The transition between the panel edge region and the actuation rocker is formed with the panel edge region forming over a first width a goblet-like edge set back by a first depth, and an adjoining edge, separated by a gap of width, of the actuation rocker, which edge is recessed by more than the first depth in the non-actuated state and set further back continuously over a second width by a second depth. The recess is shaped overall such that inadvertent actuation of the actuation rocker by an object significantly larger than a human finger is prevented.

The present disclosure relates to a sensor device for arrangement in a motor vehicle, including: a transmitting unit for emitting an optical signal into a space region of a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle; a receiving unit for sensing the optical signal; an evaluation unit for assigning a switching function and/or controlling function to the reflected optical signal; a cover which is transmissive with respect to the optical signal and disposed between the passenger compartment and the transmitting unit; and further, a capacitive sensor with at least one electrode for generating a measuring capacitance sensing the passenger compartment at least in some portions, and means for detecting a capacitance change of the measuring capacitance; and wherein the evaluation unit is further designed to vary the switching function and/or controlling function and/or to vary the transmitting power of the transmitting unit in accordance with the capacitance change.

A power supply system control device for controlling a power supply system including an electric generator, a first electricity storage configured to be charged with and to discharge electric power generated by the electric generator, a second electricity storage configured to be charged with and to discharge the generated electric power, two paths connecting between the first electricity storage and the second electricity storage, a switching unit including a first switch configured to switch between a conductive state and a non-conductive state of one of the paths, and a second switch configured to switch between a conductive state and a non-conductive state of the other of the paths, and an electric load of a vehicle that is connected to the first electricity storage side of the switching unit.

A seat actuating element for a motor vehicle seat has an element head (9) and a guide rod (10) that is received movably in a seat wall (7) of the motor vehicle seat (1). The element head (9) is arranged on the seat wall (7) and can be actuated. The seat actuating element (6) has an adjustment protector (11) to avoid inadvertent actuation of the seat actuating element (6).

A vehicle window control panel for controlling a plurality of vehicle window assemblies comprises a common window control switch and a plurality of selector interfaces. The common window control switch is configured for controlling operation of a window assembly when the window assembly occupies an active state. The plurality of selector interfaces is electrically coupled to the common window control switch, and each of the plurality of selector interfaces is associated with an associated window assembly and configured for selectively coupling the associated window assembly to the common window control switch so as to cause the associated window assembly to occupy an active state. Each of the plurality of selector interfaces is also configured for selectively decoupling the associated window assembly from the common window control switch so as to cause the associated window assembly to occupy an inactive state.

A vehicle-mounted equipment operating device includes a contact operating surface which is prepared at least as an operation unit when an operator operates or stops a vehicle-mounted equipment mounted on a vehicle and is arranged at a position that is closer to a vehicle front side than a steering wheel and enables an operation of the operator without taking off a hand from the steering wheel, and to which a plurality of contact operation modes where the operator performs a contact operation with a finger when operating or stopping the vehicle-mounted equipment are assigned.

A flow corridor detection system for use on a vehicle is provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to measure available space in front of the vehicle; a data module include vehicle trajectory data that predicts trajectories of other vehicles, a memory defining vehicle dimension data, a dynamic memory having driver behavior and skill data, a processor configured to combine sensor measurements with data from the data module, memory and dynamic memory in order to detect a corridor through which the vehicle can proceed, and to quantify the risk level associated with the corridor. A display is configured to represent the location and risk level of the corridor to the driver of the vehicle.

An apparatus for controlling a turn signal for an electronic multifunction switch includes a multifunction switch equipped with a turn switch; a steering angle provision device configured to provide information about a steering angle of a vehicle; a path provision device configured to provide information about a location and a path of the vehicle; a lane information provision device configured to provide information about lanes around the vehicle; and a controller configured to receive manipulation state information of the multifunction switch, the steering angle information from the steering angle provision device, the path information from the path provision device, and the lane information from the lane information provision device, and to control a blinking state of a turn signal light of the vehicle.

A wire harness includes a trunk line section including a power line for power supply as a wiring body wired in a vehicle, a distributor that is connected to the trunk line section and distributes electric power from a power supply mounted on the vehicle to an appliance to be connected, and a ground plate for grounding buried in a resin flooring material of the vehicle separately from the trunk line section. Thus, with the wire harness, a wiring path can be simplified by combining the trunk line section, the distributor, and the ground plate.

A vehicle electrical switch assembly includes an adaptor and a switch component. The adaptor has an end with a first height and a first width and an end face. The adaptor also has a first depth dimensioned such that the adaptor can be installed in a pre-existing opening of a switch bank of a vehicle. The switch component has a housing and a switch device within the housing. The housing has second height, a second width and a second depth. The second height is greater than the first height and the second width is greater than the first width such that with the switch component installed to the adaptor, the switch component completely covers the end face.
