A control system for a vehicle display, such as a CHMSL, includes a control system module having an OEM connector first portion pre-attached to input wires and OEM connector second portion pre-attached to output wires. In another example, a control system for a vehicle display includes a control system module having a control system module input adaptor for removably connecting the control system module to an OEM first connector portion and a control system module output adaptor for removably connecting the control system module to an OEM second connector portion. Control systems for a vehicle display can be inserted between an input system and a vehicle display without having to identify specific wire harnesses or wires, and without cutting any wires. Different adaptors can be used to insert a single disclosed control system between an input system and a vehicle display in multiple types and makes of vehicles.

The present disclosure relates to a dangerous situation notification assembly for a window shade device of a vehicle and a dangerous situation notification assembly for a rear window of a vehicle. A dangerous situation notification assembly for a window shade device for vehicles, according to the present disclosure, which has a shade provided on any one of upper and lower sides of a rear window and reciprocates between a shading position where the rear window is shaded and a rolling position where the shade is rolled from the shading position, comprises: a dangerous situation notification unit which is arranged in the shade and selectively emits light at the shading position of the shade to output a dangerous situation; and a light source unit which is adjacent to the shade and supplies light to the dangerous situation notification unit so that the dangerous situation notification unit selectively emits light.

The invention relates to a lighting device (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising: —a housing (10); —a noise-reducing material (11); characterised in that: —the noise-reducing material (11) is partially disposed inside the housing (10) and is in contact with the housing (10); —the housing (10) has at least one hole (100) and the noise-reducing material (11) is configured to pass through the at least one hole (100) and extends projecting from the at least one hole (100) to the outside of the housing (10).

When light is off, a transparent appearance is obtained, while when the light is on, light is seen through a transparent spot. The present invention includes a light source portion and a reflective portion. The light source portion emits light. The light source portion is disposed at a position shifted with respect to an emitting direction of emitted light from the reflective portion. The reflective portion reflects the light from the light source portion and emits it in a predetermined direction. The reflective portion is constituted by a transparent member with a refractive index at least in a visible light area larger than 1. As a result, in the present invention, the transparent appearance is obtained when the light is off, while the light is seen through the transparent spot when the light is on.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive radar data from a radar sensor of a vehicle; demarcate a zone of coverage of the radar sensor, the zone of coverage having an area based on a number of objects indicated by the radar data; and after demarcating the zone of coverage, in response to detecting a newly present object in the zone of coverage, adjust a scanning rate of the radar sensor based on a distance of the newly present object from the radar sensor.

A removable light for a towed vehicle includes a housing with a low profile shape, an anchor, a safety tether strap, and lens protection features.

A combined rear exterior lamp and cleaning system including: a lens for the rear exterior lamp of the vehicle, the lens has an inner surface and an outer surface, a cleaning arrangement for providing a cleaning fluid to an exterior surface of the rear window, an inlet connectable to a cleaning fluid hose for providing cleaning fluid to the cleaning arrangement. The cleaning arrangement includes a channel generally parallel with at least one of the lens inner surface or the lens outer surface, and an array of outlets in fluid communication with the channel. The channel is attached to the lens and is adapted to transport the cleaning fluid from the inlet to the array of outlets located on the outer side of the lens for providing the cleaning fluid to the rear window.

A vehicle including an electric motor has improved operating performance of a brake lamp using regenerative braking. A method of controlling a brake lamp of the vehicle includes determining a tendency of a driver, calculating a corrected mass based on the determined tendency of the driver, and calculating corrected acceleration based on the corrected mass and regenerative braking torque of the electric motor. An on threshold is corrected based on a difference between a requested torque and the regenerative braking torque at a time at which an accelerator pedal is released, and the brake lamp is turned on based on the corrected on threshold and the corrected acceleration.

A light assembly for a tailgate of a vehicle, including a housing, and a light source. The housing is pivotally coupled to the tailgate for movement of the housing between a use positon and a stowed position. The light source is coupled to the housing. In the use position the light source is positioned outside of the tailgate. In the stowed position the light source is positioned within the tailgate.

A radiation-emitting semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor layer sequence having an active layer for generating electromagnetic radiation. The semiconductor chip also includes a reflector at a side surface of the semiconductor layer sequence having a reflector surface facing the semiconductor layer sequence and extending obliquely with respect to the active layer. The semiconductor chip further includes a top surface extending transversely with respect to the reflector surface and having a first emission region. The semiconductor chip additionally includes a further reflector situated opposite the reflector. The semiconductor chip is configured such that electromagnetic radiation generated in the active layer during operation is reflected by the reflector and emerges from the semiconductor chip via the emission region of the top surface. A main emission direction of the emerging electromagnetic radiation together with the active layer form an emergence angle of between 30° and 80° inclusive.
