An adaptive warning system and method for adapting an alert to a vehicle operator based on noise in a vehicle interior compartment, includes a loudspeaker, a dashboard display, a noise level sensing device for providing a noise value, and an electronic processor having a memory. The electronic processor is configured to compare the noise value with a first threshold and when the noise value is not greater than the first threshold, provide an audio alert at regular sound level and providing a visual alert on a dashboard display at regular indicia size in a normal alert mode. The electronic processor is also configured to when the noise value is greater than the first threshold, provide the audio alert at an increased sound level and provide the visual alert on the dashboard display having an increased indicia size in a second enhanced alert mode.

A gauge assembly according to this disclosure includes a dial a dial face defining a scale indicative of an operating parameter, a conduit containing a first fluid and a second fluid that are immiscible during normal operating conditions. The conduit arranged about a periphery of the scale, wherein a visible demarcation between the first fluid and the second fluid is movable to correspond with the current operating parameter indicated on the scale.

An electronic controller of a vehicle is in electronic communication with lamp cover condition sensors, a headlamp switch, an off-road lamp switch and an electronic display. The electronic controller is configured to turn on the off-road lamp device in response to the off-road lamp switch being switched to the on condition and further in response to each of a plurality of predetermined conditions being met, the electronic controller further being configured to prevent the off-road lamp device from turning on in response to the off-road lamp switch being switched to the on condition and further in response to at least one of the plurality of predetermined conditions not being met, the predetermined conditions including at least a determination that the removable lamp cover of the off-road device has been removed, and a determination that the headlamp switch is in the second operating condition.

The present disclosure relates to a display control apparatus (1) for dynamically controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3). The display control apparatus (1) comprises a controller (12) having at least one electronic processor (13). The at least one electronic processor (13) is configured to control first and second displays (4, 5). In dependence on a determined gaze direction of the vehicle driver, the at least one electronic processor (13) controls a switching module (16) to cause a first information data set (INF1) displayed on said first display (4) to be displayed on said second display (5). The present disclosure also relates to a method of controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3).

A method for warning about a wrong-way drive situation for a vehicle. The method includes at least reading in a wrong-way drive signal by an interface to a wrong-way drive detection unit. The wrong-way drive signal represents the wrong-way drive situation. The method also includes evaluating the wrong-way drive signal to determine a piece of role information. The piece of role information represents a role of the vehicle with respect to the wrong-way drive situation. The method furthermore includes generating at least one warning signal to warn about the wrong-way drive situation using the piece of role information. The at least one warning signal represents at least one role-dependent warning message. Moreover, the method includes providing the at least one warning signal at an interface to at least one output unit for outputting the at least one warning signal in the vehicle.

When the automobile is changed to the manual driving mode, the control device starts acceptance as the operation of the touch pad as an operation on the application system that displays the screen on the heads-up display, and when the automobile is in the autonomous driving mode, the control device starts acceptance of the operation of the touch pad as an operation on the application system that displays the screen on the center display.

An on-vehicle display control device includes a video image acquiring unit configured to acquire left and right side rear view video images captured by imaging units configured to capture the left and right side rear view video images of a vehicle, a turning information acquiring unit configured to acquire turning information on the vehicle, and a video image processing unit configured to display, on determining that the vehicle is going to make a turn based on the turning information, the side rear view video image for a turning direction in an area away from a center of the vehicle in a side monitor provided in a turning direction, and the side rear view video image for a direction opposite to the turning direction in an area close to the center of the vehicle in the side monitor provided in the turning direction.

A virtual human-machine interface system for a vehicle including at least one projection surface disposed within the vehicle and a corresponding virtual human-machine interface method for a vehicle are provided. The virtual human-machine interface system comprises at least one micro-mirror projection device for projecting an image on the at least one projection surface, at least one sensor for detecting commands given by a user by determining the position of a part of the user's body within the vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the human-machine interface system. The position of the image projected by the at least one projection device within the vehicle may be modified by a specific command given by the user.
