The invention provides an air and fluid cleaning system for propelling a cleaning fluid and air onto a vehicle vision device such as a vehicle camera system. The cleaning system comprises at least one fluid nozzle aimed at the camera; at least one cleaning fluid pump fluidly connected to both a fluid supply conduit and a cleaning fluid source; at least one air nozzle aimed at the vehicle camera; and at least one telescopic air jet fluidly connected to the air nozzle, hydraulically connected to the fluid supply conduit, and operated by the fluid pressure provided by the cleaning fluid pump; such that during a first operation time interval only cleaning fluid is propelled onto the vehicle camera and during a second operation time interval only an air jet burst is propelled onto the vehicle camera. The invention further includes a method for cleaning a vehicle camera exposed to ambient.

A vehicle front structure includes a cowl and one or more washer nozzles. The cowl is disposed between a front window glass and a front hood, which are disposed at a vehicle front. The cowl includes a recess extending in a vehicle width direction. The one or more washer nozzles are disposed at the cowl and configured to eject a washer fluid to the front window glass. The cowl includes plate members that stand erect in the recess and extend in a vehicle front-rear direction. The plate members are disposed on both vehicle-widthwise outer sides of an area in which the one or more washer nozzles are disposed.

A wiper device including a wiper motor that includes a rotor and a coil to generate a rotating magnetic field, and that causes a wiper blade to perform a wiping operation by rotating the rotor according to the rotating magnetic field, a drive section that drives rotation of the wiper motor by performing current switch-on in the coil so as to generate the rotating magnetic field, and a controller that controls the drive section by a timing for current switch-on in the coil based on at least a rotation position of the rotor.

The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle comprising a dust sensor. The dust sensor is a scattered light photometer according to the disclosure. The scattered light photometer measures the dust load of the air in a region of the motor vehicle in which resuspended or emitted dust has a tendency to occur during travel. In addition, the motor vehicle contains a device for dust reduction, which receives measured data from the scattered light photometer, and decides, on the basis of the measured data, whether measures are to be taken against dust resuspension or dust emission. The device takes corresponding measures if the dust load exceeds a threshold value.
