A press apparatus for vehicle crash pads comprising real wood sheets includes an upper press having a preforming cavity on one side thereof and a bonding cavity on another side thereof, a lower press to perform a preforming process through compression to the preforming cavity, and to perform compression to the bonding cavity by rotating during a compression process; and a lower press mover to rotate the lower press.

An assembly includes a steering column and an instrument panel. A bezel is fixed to the instrument panel. A releasable panel is releasably connected to the bezel. A cable extending from the releasable panel to the steering column. In the event of a vehicle impact, the releasable panel releases from the bezel to absorb energy from the steering column.

A lateral shock absorber includes a protective fender pivoted to a base of a child car safety seat and a locking mechanism disposed on the base. The protective fender is pivotally switchable between a folded state or an unfolded state. The locking mechanism is for selectively engaging with the protective fender to restrain the protective fender from switching to the unfolded state or disengaging from the protective fender to allow the protective fender to switch to the unfolded state when the protective fender is located in the folded state. The locking mechanism includes a locking assembly, an abutting component and an abutting block connected to the abutting component. The locking assembly engages with the protective fender to restrain the protective fender from moving, and the abutting component is driven by the abutting block to disengage the locking assembly from the protective fender when the abutting block is pressed downwardly.

A vehicle system is disclosed herein. The vehicle includes a vehicle structure. A vehicle component is coupled to the vehicle structure via electromagnetic attraction. The controller is configured to generate a command to vary the amount of electromagnetic attraction between the vehicle structure and the vehicle component in response to a received vehicle threat signal.

An attachment structure of a vehicular module to a ceiling of a vehicle cabin of a vehicle includes a design member. The design member is configured to attach, to the ceiling, the module including an in-cabin sensor configured to perform detection in the vehicle cabin, and includes a securing portion configured to be secured to a vehicle-body ceiling member of the vehicle or an interior ceiling member disposed on a vehicle cabin side of the vehicle-body ceiling member, a downward protrusion protruding downward from the securing portion, and a design constituent extending from the downward protrusion and covering the securing portion. In an accommodating space defined between the downward protrusion and the design constituent, the in-cabin sensor is supported by the design member in such a manner that, above the accommodating space, a gap is left between the in-cabin sensor and the vehicle-body ceiling member or the interior ceiling member.

The holder for a center console, including a first fastening region for fastening to the vehicle body as well as a second fastening region for fastening to the center console, wherein the first fastening region and the second fastening region are connected by at least one arm extending in the Z-direction. The arm has a primary region with a first center axis and at least one secondary region with a second center axis which form relative to one another at least one bend point, which permits deformation of the primary region relative to the secondary region and thus a movement of the first fastening region relative to the second fastening region in the Z-direction.

A vehicle includes a body structure that defines a passenger cabin, a seat assembly that is located in the passenger cabin, and a table that includes a table top and an adjustable support assembly. The table top is located adjacent to the seat assembly, the adjustable support assembly includes actuators, and the adjustable support assembly is configured to move the table top with respect to the seat assembly. The vehicle also includes sensors that are configured to generate sensor outputs regarding an environment outside of the vehicle, and a controller that detects a vehicle event based on the sensor outputs. In response to the detection of the vehicle event, the controller outputs a control signal that controls the adjustable support assembly so that the adjustable support assembly moves at least part of the table top away from the seat assembly.

An instrument panel includes an instrument panel body fixed to a vehicle body, and a cover that covers a space of the instrument panel body from a rear in a front-rear direction of a vehicle and faces an occupant in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The instrument panel body includes a harness holder configured to hold a wire harness arranged in a vehicle width direction. The harness holder extends along the vehicle width direction in the space of the instrument panel body, and includes a fragile portion provided in at least one position in a longitudinal direction of the harness holder. A sectional area of the fragile portion is smaller than a sectional area of the other portion of the harness holder.

An active head restraint for a seating assembly of a motor vehicle comprises a structural support for a seatback of the seating assembly, a movable head restraint pad having a stowed position and a deployed position, and a linkage deployment mechanism. The linkage deployment mechanism comprises an upper and lower bar pivotally attached at a forward end to a rear surface of the movable head restraint pad and pivotally attached at a rearward end to an outer tube fixed to an upper portion of the structural support. An inner tube reciprocates within the outer tube. A trigger mechanism is operatively connected with a lower end of the inner tube and urges the inner linkage and an actuating link to a raised deployed position in response to a rear impact event. The actuating link applies an upward force to the lower bar to deploy the movable head restraint pad.
