Electronic Door Locking System
An electronic door locking system of a motor vehicle is disclosed, comprising at least one receiver for the transmission signals of an electronic key, at least one control device for mechanically locking and unlocking at least one motor vehicle door, at least one contact element, accessible from outside the motor vehicle, for connecting an external voltage source, wherein the at least one control device for mechanically locking and unlocking at least one motor vehicle door and/or at least one additional control device has an emergency power supply algorithm, wherein the electronic door locking system is designed to detect an emergency power supply mode and to activate the emergency power supply algorithm, wherein the emergency power supply algorithm is designed to deactivate at least one function of a normal mode and/or, in the case of a function, to access previously defined data of deactivated components or to ignore said data.
Secure vehicle control unit
The present invention relates to a vehicle control unit that includes a microcontroller unit, a sealing controller unit including a memory for storing a validity state, an electrical connector configured to couple the microcontroller unit to the sealing controller unit, and a housing enclosing the microcontroller unit, the sealing controller unit, and the electrical connector. The microcontroller unit is configured to determine the validity state of the sealing controller unit via the electrical connector, and the sealing controller unit is configured to detect a mechanical change to the housing and to change the validity state when such a mechanical change is detected.
Snowmobile
A vehicle is shown such as a snowmobile, where a frame includes a tunnel and a front frame portion comprised of cast halves. A suspension system is comprised of upper and lower control arms connected to the front frame portion. Some of the frame components are adhesively fixed together. A powertrain is supported by the frame, and is comprised of an engine and a clutch. The clutch includes a clutch guard supporting an oil container. The engine has an exhaust system which extends through the front frame portion. The snowmobile also has a rear snow deflector.

Vehicle electronic key system and in-vehicle device
A vehicle electronic key system acquires a vehicle vibration, which is a vibration generated in a vehicle, at a time of a driver's door of the vehicle being closed after a driver is presumed to get in the vehicle, and a key vibration, which is a vibration generated in an electronic key, at the time of the driver's door being closed after the driver is presumed to get in the vehicle. The system determines whether or not the vehicle vibration and the key vibration at the time of the driver's door being closed match each other, and permits an operation of a predetermined operation target device mounted in the vehicle on the condition that the vehicle vibration and the key vibration match each other.

Vehicle equipped with power storage device
A charger is permitted to perform external charging of a power storage device in a connector locked state in which a charging connector is locked to a charge inlet by a connector lock device. An ECU releases the connector locked state in conjunction a door unlock operation of releasing a door locked state placed by a door lock mechanism. When the external charging of the power storage device by the charger is cancelled by the connector locked state being released, a different charging stop history, depending on presence or absence of a predetermined user operation after the external charging is cancelled, is stored into a storage device.
Vehicle Security Alarm Assembly
A vehicle security alarm assembly includes a plurality of window sensors coupled to windows of a vehicle and plurality of handle sensors coupled to door handles of the vehicle. A motion sensing array is coupled to the vehicle to detect motion proximate the vehicle. Each of the window sensors, the handle sensors and the motion sensing array is in communication with the alarm system of the vehicle to selectively trigger the alarm system. A surveillance unit is mounted to a rear view mirror of the vehicle thereby facilitating the surveillance unit to surveil a back seat of the vehicle. A personal electronic device is included that is in communication with the alarm system for alerting an owner of the vehicle when the alarm system is triggered.
