A vehicle includes an instrument panel, a pressure sensor, and a door. The instrument panel defines a sensor cavity and a first opening in fluid communication with the sensor cavity. The pressure sensor is in the sensor cavity. The door defines a door cavity and a second opening in fluid communication with the door cavity. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position. The first and second openings are engaged with each other in the closed position and disengaged with each other in the open position.

Filtration of acoustic contaminate from vehicle safety sensors

A vehicle includes: an audio system, local sensors including a crash sensor, a fuel pump, and processor(s) configured to: (a) select filter(s) based on a determined audio system state; (b) decontaminate present crash sensor data via the filter(s); (c) determine whether to deactivate the fuel pump based on the decontaminated data. The processor(s) are configured to map prior crash sensor data to prior determined audio system states and select the filter(s) by selecting some of the mapped prior crash sensor data.
