A device for dispensing liquid onto a target area of a vehicle surface is described, and includes a mixing valve that is in communication with a pressurized fluidic supply system via a fluidic distribution system, and a controller. The mixing valve includes an outlet orifice that is disposed proximal to the target area, and the mixing valve includes first and second valve conduits that are fluidly connected to the outlet orifice via a mixing portion. The first valve conduit includes a first control valve, and the second valve conduit includes a second control valve. The fluidic distribution system includes a first fluidic conduit and a second fluidic conduit. The controller is operatively connected to the fluidic supply system, and the first and second control valves.

A glass plate with an electric heating wire includes a glass plate having an information acquisition area through which information outside a vehicle is acquired by an information acquisition apparatus; and an electric heating wire provided in the information acquisition area. When the glass plate is mounted to a vehicle body in an inclined state, the information acquisition area has a rectangular shape viewed from a direction of an optical axis of the information acquisition apparatus, and has horizontal upper and lower sides. A plurality of streaks caused by waviness of the glass plate are arranged at intervals in a lateral direction parallel to the upper and lower sides, each streak extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to the lateral direction. The electric heating wire has a vertical portion that vertically traverses the information acquisition area. A plurality of vertical portions are provided at intervals in the lateral direction.

A method of assembling a vehicle cleaner nozzle provided in a vicinity of a leading end of a piston accommodated to be movable forward and backward with respect to a cylinder so as to inject a cleaning medium on an object to be cleaned which is mounted on a vehicle includes: assembling a nozzle chip to a housing along a first direction so as to form a feedback flow path for swinging and injecting the cleaning medium by accommodating the nozzle chip in an interior of the housing; and assembling the housing in a state where the housing accommodates the nozzle chip to a holder supported by the piston along the first direction.

Provided is a vehicular lighting device (1) attached to a motorbike (100) that is capable of traveling around corners due to the vehicle body being tilted toward the direction for turning, wherein the vehicular lighting device (1) comprises at least two lamps and a sensor (7) for detecting the surrounding environment toward the rear of the vehicle. The vehicular lighting device (1) comprises a left lighting unit (2L) and a right lighting unit (2R) as the at least two lamps. The sensor (7) is disposed between the left lighting unit (2L) and the right lighting unit (2R) as viewed from rearward of the vehicle.

Provided is a vehicle cleaner system with which it can be ascertained which cleaner has broken down. A vehicle cleaner system comprises: a plurality of cleaner units; a motor pump; an electromagnetic valve which switches between allowing and denying the movement of a cleaning liquid; a cleaner control unit; and a plurality of protection determination units that protect the electromagnetic valve from being supplied with an overcurrent when the electromagnetic valve has short-circuited and is opened, and that notify the cleaner control unit that the electromagnetic valve has short-circuited and is opened. The cleaner control unit outputs, to a vehicle control unit, which electromagnetic valve is unavailable for use, on the basis of a signal that is acquired from the protection determination units and that indicates that the electromagnetic valve has short-circuited and is opened.

The disclosure provides for a wiper system for cleaning a surface of a sensor housing, such as a sensor housing positioned on top of a vehicle. The wiper system includes a plurality of windows spaced around a sensor housing, and a plurality of wipers positioned around the sensor housing, each of the wipers includes a wiper blade configured to clean a corresponding window of the plurality of windows.
