A method for controlling configuration of a truck includes identifying a current operating situation of the truck, implementing one of a plurality of sets of configuration parameters associated with the current operating situation, wherein each set of configuration parameters comprises at least two different configuration parameters related respectively to a ground-linking system and a powertrain system of the truck, and wherein said plurality of sets of configuration parameters comprises at least a default set of configuration parameters associated with a default driving operating situation and an off-road set of configuration parameters associated with an off-road operating situation.

A lighting device is provided for controlling the photometric distribution of light emitted by two or more LEDs. The lighting device may be integrated with a control system of the vehicle and may be controlled by a remote controller. The lighting device may be capable of being operated in one or more modes of operation based on operating conditions, user input, or both. Operating conditions may include vehicle conditions, environmental conditions, and user conditions. The controller may operate a software application to enable the user to modify, control, or otherwise regulate any mode of operation or other feature of the lighting system.

Technologies and techniques for controlling the interior lighting of a vehicle. Multiple lighting units are distributed in the interior of the vehicle, and each of the lighting units is assigned at least two color zones. Arrangement profiles for arranging the at least two color zones in the interior of the vehicle are displayed on a display and operating device, and a user selection of one of the arrangement profiles is detected. A color selection by the user is detected for each of the at least two color zones via a respective operating element displayed on the display and operating device, and a color is set for each lighting unit by a controller according to the selected arrangement profile and the colors selected for the at least two color zones. The invention also relates to a device for controlling the interior lighting of a vehicle.

A vehicle horn sound output device is disclosed. A vehicle horn sound output device according to the present invention comprises: an operation switch for outputting a horn sound; a storage unit for storing sound types to be output as horn sounds; a touch input unit for displaying a horn setting screen such that, by touching the horn setting screen, at least one from among the sound type, the volume, and the sound quality is set; and a control unit for executing an application so as to output a horn setting screen to the touch input unit, retrieving a sound type stored in the storage unit according to a setting value input from the touch input unit, setting the volume and the sound quality, and outputting a horn sound through a horn speaker if the operation switch is operated.

A holographic projection system and method are implemented by a projection device provided on the vehicle; a water mist generating device for generating water mist provided on the vehicle; and a controller in communication with the projection device and the water mist generating device. The controller is configured to detect a signal of user proximity to the vehicle, and activate the water mist generating device and the projection device respectively based on the detected signal, so that the projection device projects an image onto the water mist.
