There is described a motor vehicle control device (10) with a control unit (12), which includes a movable control element (14), and an electrode carrier (20) which comprises at least two electrodes (24) associated to the control element (14), which are contacted electrically and together with the control unit (12) form a common capacitor (38).

A tractor includes: a driver seat on which a driver can sit; a hood 5 provided in front of the driver seat; and an antenna unit that receives satellite positioning information. When viewed from the front, an upper end portion of a ROPS and at least part of the antenna unit overlap with each other.

A vehicle door apparatus includes: a first slide door and a second slide door that are slidably provided between a close position at which an opening part of a vehicle is closed and an open position at which the opening part is opened and that have door frame parts butted to each other in a state where the opening part is closed; and a door opening/closing switch that is provided on an inner side wall positioned on a side to which each slide door is opened among the door frame parts of the first slide door and the second slide door and that opens and closes each of the slide doors.

A power supply system is installed in a vehicle having one or more sources of electrical energy. The power supply system includes at least two distributing boxes each having at least one internal distribution bus, at least two output switches and a driver processor. The internal distribution bus can be connected to the source or sources of electrical energy. The output switches for each supplies a different electrical consumer of the vehicle from the internal distribution bus. The driver processor controls the output switches so as to distribute a consumption load between the electrical consumers in association with different operating modes 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 power distribution device includes a first switch configured to connect a power supply source or a first device to a second device, a second switch configured to connect the second device and a third device distributing predetermined power, and a control unit configured to control conduction and cutoff of the first and the second switches based on an output voltage of the power distribution device. The control unit switches the first switch to a conductive state and the second switch to a cutoff state when an input voltage of the second device does not drop to a predetermined control start voltage, and switches, when the input voltage of the second device temporarily drops to the control start voltage, the first switch to the cutoff state and the second switch to the conductive state, and supplies the power from the third device to the second device.

Vehicle horn control device, embedded on a vehicle steering wheel, comprising: a base part (10); a control part (20), movable between a rest position and a depressed position; elastic return means (31), for pushing back the control part (20) to the rest position,—positioning means (41); an electrical circuit with at least one switch comprising a second contact terminal (51; 151; 251a, 251b; 21, 452), embedded on the control part (20), and a first contact terminal (52; 152; 252; 441), secured to the base part (10), characterized in that the positioning means (41) comprises the initial contact terminal (52; 152; 252; 441) arranged to position the control part (20) in the rest position, so as to close the switch when the control part (20) is in the rest position.

An apparatus for controlling a suspension of a vehicle includes: the electronically controlled suspension arranged between wheels and a vehicle body and configured to increase or decrease a contact force between a tire of the vehicle and a road surface; and a controller that adjusts a height of the vehicle depending on a type of road when it rains and adjusts an operating time of the suspension based on a lateral acceleration of the vehicle.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base comprising an outer surface and a support comprising an outer surface and configured to move between a raised position and a lowered position. The component may comprise a light source to provide a lighted border around the support and/or illuminate walls of the cavity. The outer surface of the support and the outer surface of the base may comprise a substantially continuous surface when the support is in the raised position. The support may descend into the base to provide a cavity. The support may rotate and translate as it descends. The support may comprise a switch to send a signal to move the support. The component may comprise a pump and a valve. The component may comprise at least one of a console, floor console, tunnel console, armrest, instrument panel, door or door panel.

An electric power supply device installed in a vehicle includes a relay provided between a high-voltage battery and one or more pieces of in-vehicle equipment, and a processor. The processor is configured to, based on a state of a main switch configured to operate a traveling system of the vehicle, switch on or off of the relay, and is configured to control electric power supply from the high-voltage battery to the one or more pieces of in-vehicle equipment. The processor is configured to supply electric power from the high-voltage battery to particular in-vehicle equipment during maintaining the relay on when the main switch is turned off during the relay being on and the one or more pieces of in-vehicle equipment include the particular in-vehicle equipment. The particular in-vehicle equipment is configured to operate after the main switch is turned off.
