A vehicle safety system is for preventing child abandonment in a vehicle. The vehicle safety system may include a controller coupled to a flow sensor, a temperature sensor, and a seat sensor. The controller may be configured to detect when the vehicle is in a fueling state based upon the flow sensor, detect occupancy of a child safety seat based upon the seat sensor, and detect when a driver side door is in an open state based upon a driver side door sensor in the vehicle. The controller may be configured to when the driver side door has entered the open state, when the child safety seat is occupied, and when the vehicle does not enter the fueling state within a time period, then cause the vehicle to enter an alert state.

The invention relates to a cooling system for a vehicle, the cooling system comprising a cooling fan comprising a ram air turbine disposed in an aperture of a fan shroud, the fan shroud comprising: an opening, a shutter mechanism movable between a closed position in which it closes the opening, and an open position in which it opens the opening so that a ram air flow can pass through the opening, wherein the fan shroud further comprises: a velocity sensor configured to measure ram air flow velocity, a temperature sensor configured to measure ram air flow temperature, and an actuator configured to move the shutter mechanism between the closed position and the open position based on measured ram air flow velocity and measured ram air flow temperature.

The present disclosure relates to a pipeline for supplying a gas to an internal combustion engine, with a pipeline cross section forming a passage for the gas and a gas mass measuring device for measuring a gas mass flow. The pipeline is characterized in particular in that it comprises a mixing element made from a wire structure upstream from the gas mass measuring device and in that the mixing element serves for the thorough mixing of the gas in order to homogenize an inhomogeneous flow profile which is present upstream from the mixing element.

A vehicle safety system is for preventing child abandonment in a vehicle. The vehicle safety system may include a flow sensor for fuel in the vehicle, and a controller coupled to the flow sensor and a seat sensor. The controller may be configured to detect when the vehicle is in a fueling state based upon the flow sensor, and detect occupancy of a child safety seat based upon the seat sensor. The controller may be configured to if the vehicle does not enter the fueling state within a first time period, then cause the vehicle to enter a first alert state, and if the vehicle does not enter the fueling state within a second time period greater than the first time period, then cause the vehicle to enter a second alert state.

The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle, in which by at least one ultrasonic sensor, operated in the active operation mode, of an ultrasonic sensor device of the motor vehicle ultrasonic waves are emitted into an environmental region of the motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle as hybrid vehicle is equipped with an internal combustion engine (and an electric drive machine and in the active operation mode of the ultrasonic sensor arranged on a rear part of the motor vehicle the motor vehicle at least temporarily is operated by means of the electric drive machine. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle.
