A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping profile.

A hybrid vehicle may be a series hybrid or a parallel hybrid vehicle. One embodiment of a parallel hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a transmission coupled to the engine, a front drive coupled to the transmission through a prop shaft, a rear drive coupled to the transmission, a traction motor drivingly coupled to the prop shaft, and a battery to operate the traction motor.

An open vehicle includes a surroundings sensor and an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is configured to cause, depending on a signal of the surroundings sensor, a sound output device to output a sound to warn the driver of the vehicle. The sound has at least one frequency component in a frequency range from 900 to 20000, in particular 1000 to 10000, hertz.

A hybrid vehicle includes an engine that drives first wheel, and a motor that drives second wheel. The hybrid vehicle includes (1) a minute speed launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven only by the motor as a drive source, (2) a sudden launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven by the engine and motor as the drive source, and (3) a smooth launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven only by the motor as the drive source in an early stage, is driven by the engine and motor in a middle stage, and is driven only by the engine in a late stage, and if an operation amount of an acceleration instruction unit is not 0 or is substantially not 0, any one of the support modes is executed according to an operation status of the acceleration instruction unit.

A reverse control system for a saddle riding utility vehicle includes a first switch configured to be displaced from a free position to a depressed position to activate a reversing of the saddle riding utility vehicle. The reverse control system also includes a second switch adapted to be actuated by a user to activate the reversing of the saddle riding utility vehicle. Moreover, a controller is communicatively coupled to the first switch, the second switch, and the drive system. The controller is configured to control the drive system to activate the reversing of the saddle riding utility vehicle in response to the actuation of the second switch, with the first switch being arranged at the depressed position, before elapse of a predefined time duration from the displacement of the first switch to the depressed position from the free position.

Vision systems may be used to aid complex maneuvers of recreational vehicles, particularly when an operator's view of objects is obstructed by portions of the vehicle. A recreational vehicle vision system may include a camera, processing circuitry, and a display device. The camera may be mounted to any suitable portion of the recreational vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to receive image data from the camera, detect an object in the image data that is obscured from direct view of an operator of the recreational vehicle, and generate a virtual projection of the detected object. The display device is configured to display at least a portion of the image data and at least a portion of the virtual projection.
