The present disclosure is directed to a slidable mounting assembly for a work vehicle includes a mounting bracket configured to couple to a frame member of the work vehicle, and a rail coupled to the mounting bracket. The rail includes a channel that extends substantially along a longitudinal axis of the mounting bracket. A portion of at least one slidable member is configured to be removably disposed within the channel of the rail, and the portion of the at least one slidable member is configured to move along the channel of the rail.

A system and method for providing an alert warning to a driver of a that includes forward facing vehicle sensors that can detect the presence and relative distance of a forward obstruction in a travel lane immediately in front of the vehicle, a processor for receiving signals from the forward sensor and for processing the signal to determine the relative speed, acceleration and or deceleration of the forward obstruction, a forward signal receiver adapted to receive a signal from a forward obstruction, a rear signal transmitter for transmitting information relating to the vehicle and any forward obstructions a following vehicle, and an driver alert device to warn a driver if a collision is imminent unless evasive action is implemented.

A plurality of indicator field elements and a mechanical device are included in an indicating apparatus disposed in an interior of a motor vehicle. Each indicator field element is bounded by an edge, wherein the mechanical device is configured to position the indicator field elements in at least two positions relative to one another and to arrange at least two indicator field elements directly next to one another in at least one position. The edges of the at least two indicator field elements arranged directly next to one another contact at a common boundary in the at least one position and form a common indicator field which comprises the at least two indicator field elements.

To provide an inexpensive indicator member which can prevent a dark area from being formed at a location above a reflection part, an indicator unit having the indicator member and an indicator instrument having the indicator unit. A hollow reflection part provided to an indicator part of an indicator main body of a light-emitting indicator includes a plurality of partial reflection parts having at least an pointing direction reflection face, a rear end direction reflection face and a corner formed at an intersection of the pointing direction reflection face and the rear end direction reflection face and arranged at a location opposed to the base part. The corners of the respective partial reflection parts adjacent to each other are displaced in a pointing direction or in a rear end direction.

Arrangements described herein provide adaptive cruise control systems that present travel settings for one or more nearby vehicles. Location information for one or more nearby vehicles can be acquired. Travel settings for the one or more nearby vehicles can be acquired. The travel settings can include a set speed and a set distance for each of the one or more nearby vehicles. Arrangements described herein can present within the vehicle the travel settings for the one or more nearby vehicles. A vehicle to follow from the one or more nearby vehicles can be selected based on the displayed travel settings.

In one embodiment, the present invention is a plasma disk assembly connectable to a vehicle's wheel assembly, the plasma disk assembly comprising a plasma disk assembly having a sealed plasma disk display encapsulating ionizable gas, at least one controllable power source for producing an output sufficient to ionize the gas in the plasma discharge tube and operably connected to the power supply for optionally adjusting the level of the energy to cause selective ionization of the gas in the plasma display to occur in differing amounts as a function of a changing stimulus connected to an input, at least one ball bearing system or mount, electrical connectors connecting the power source to the plasma disk, at least one pair of electrodes electrically coupling the electrical connectors to the ionizable gas in the plasma discharge tube, and at least one ballast system.

A vehicle lighting system includes a first detection unit that detects a moving body around a host vehicle, a first determination unit that determines whether the moving body is a target to which an alert should be sent, a projection unit that can project a first pattern, which indicates first information on the host vehicle, in a predetermined range around the target, a second determination unit that determines whether another vehicle is projecting a second pattern, which indicates second information on the other vehicle, and a control unit that controls the projection unit such that the first pattern is projected at the predetermined range around the target and the first pattern does not overlap with the second pattern or such that the first pattern is not projected, when the other vehicle is projecting the second pattern.

A display assembly for displaying vehicle operating information to an operator of a vehicle is provided. The display assembly includes at least two housing parts selected from the following: a mask, a light housing, and a back cover. The display assembly also includes at least one living hinge connecting the housing parts together. The housing parts and the living hinge(s) are unitarily formed as one piece. A method of forming a display assembly for displaying information to an operator of a vehicle is also provided, which includes unitarily forming the housing parts and hinges as one piece.

The present disclosure relates to an off-road vehicle having different features such as a frame having a frame structure, an engine assembly, an exhaust assembly, an engine mount assembly, a suspension assembly, a plurality of wheels, a hitch assembly, and other associated components. Embodiments of the present disclosure also describe a removable frame member facilitating the installation of the engine assembly from a seating area into a rearward portion of the vehicle. The off-road vehicle may further include an engine air intake assembly, an engine cooling assembly, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) cooling assembly, a vehicle cabin cooling assembly, a CVT housing assembly, a door assembly, a dashboard assembly, and other components.

A device for controlling a directional motion indicator includes a motion detector transmitting a directional motion signal based on a movement and a direction of the movement of the motion detector. A controller includes a controller input port receiving the directional motion signal. The controller determines a backward movement of the motion detector based on the directional motion signal. The controller transmits a motion indicator signal, via a controller output port, based on the determined backward movement of the motion detector.
