A vane controller assembly for an air vent of a vehicle. Vane controller assembly includes a deco panel adapted to be fitted in the air vent, and a knob movably coupled to the deco panel using a shaft. The vane controller assembly includes an elastic member having a body portion that has a hole, and protrusion(s) configured on an outer surface of the body portion, which is adapted to engage and lock with a slot provided at a first end of the knob. The shaft passes through the hole of the body portion of the elastic member such that the elastic member is slidably and rotatably engaged with the shaft, and allows a user to adjust orientation of vanes of vane controller assembly in a required direction.

A method controls a user interface and an air-conditioning unit of a vehicle. The user interface includes display and operating elements. The method displays a plurality of the elements on the user interface, receives at least two operation parameters of the air-conditioning unit, determines one or more display parameters for a first element from the plurality of elements on the basis of the at least two operation parameters, and displays the first element on the basis of the one or more display parameters.

An interior trim panel for a vehicle interior. The panel includes an air distributing member for distributing the air, a first air distribution channel for distributing the airflow from the air distributing member into the vehicle interior. A canopy is configured to partly cover an accessory arranged on the interior trim panel. Further, the interior trim panel includes a second air distribution channel configured in a gap formed between the canopy and the accessory for distributing the airflow from the air distributing member. Further, the air distributing from the second distribution channel is deviated towards the vehicle interior by a curved extension of the canopy.

A motor vehicle air-conditioning line valve arrangement includes a line valve having an air-conditioning line body which is of substantially closed design in a transverse plane, and a fiber nonwoven arranged on an inside in the air-conditioning line body and having a nonwoven mat to which a large number of nonwoven fibers are fixed. The nonwoven fibers are fixed to the nonwoven mat at one end and configured to be electrostatically charged by the nonwoven mat. An electrical charge generator is electrically connected to the nonwoven mat and configured to electrostatically charge the fiber nonwoven, so that the electrostatically charged nonwoven fibers straighten toward a center of the air-conditioning line body in such a way that they close an open flow cross section of the air-conditioning line body.

An electronic device includes a storage unit storing adjustment information whereby the amount of change in a predetermined direction, when an adjustment portion was moved to adjust a setting for a predetermined system by the user performing a touch operation, has been associated with an amount of adjustment for adjusting the setting for the predetermined system. A control unit determines whether or not the user's touch operation has passed through a region in a predetermined amount of time, and calculates the amount of change in the predetermined direction based on the touch operation when it has been determined that the touch operation has passed through the region within the predetermined amount of time, determines the amount of adjustment corresponding to the calculated amount of change based on the adjustment information, and issues an instruction to the predetermined system to set a setting value based on the determined amount of adjustment.

A scenting device is provided for scenting an interior of a vehicle. The scenting device comprises a housing and a scent container arranged in the housing. In addition, the scenting device comprises a holding device for attaching the scenting device to a ventilation in the interior of the vehicle. The holding device has a holding element with an opening and the opening is designed in the form of a through hole or a blind hole. Protrusions are arranged on the edge or on the walls of the opening, wherein the protrusions extend along the depth to different extents into the interior of the opening.

A system and method for controlling air conditioning and ISG systems for a vehicle are provided. The system includes a heater controller that detects a defrost mode selection signal or an A/C blower operation signal and transmits the signal to a cluster controller. The cluster controller then transmits the defrost mode selection signal or the A/C blower operation signal to an engine ECU. The engine ECU determines ISG entry prevention or ISG release after ISG entry in response to receiving the defrost mode selection signal or the A/C blower operation signal from the cluster controller.

A control system including a touch-sensitive surface and an actuator fixed to the touch-sensitive surface, the actuator having a control element rotatable relative to the touch-sensitive surface between at least two selection positions. The actuator has a first sensor element rotationally fixed to the control element and coupled to the touch-sensitive surface in all selection positions, and a second sensor element. The control element is translationally movable relative to the touch-sensitive surface between a selected position and a release position. The second sensor element is rotationally fixed to the element and uncoupled from the touch-sensitive surface in the selected position and coupled to the touch-sensitive surface in the release position.

An indicator control system includes N switches connected to circuitry configured to control the N switches, N+1 first indicators connected to the N switches to indicate performance intensity of the heater or ventilation, and a switching element connected in series with one of the first indicators and controlled by one of the switches, wherein, when the one of the switches is turned off, the switching element and the one of the first indicator are turned off.

An actuator assembly for actuating actuatable members. The actuator assembly includes an upper cam mounted to an upper side of a center plate. The upper cam is rotatable by a motor. A lower cam is mounted to a lower side of the center plate. The lower cam is rotatable by the motor. The upper cam and the lower cam are configured to rotate at different speeds and are configured to actuate linkages for moving the actuatable members.
