An engine start control apparatus and method for use in a vehicle equipped with a driver-operated pushbutton switch (27) that generates a command to activate the starter motor (139) of an engine. The apparatus includes a first starter switching element (131) and a second starter switching element (152) connected in series in a power supply circuit for providing power to the starter motor (139). A first controller (126) that sequentially turns on and off the first starter switching element (131) and the second starter switching element (152) based on the operation of the switch (127). A voltage detection means (144) has an input coupled to a connection point (P) between the first starter switching element (131) and the second starter switching element (152) and an output indicative of the voltage at the connection point (P). A second control means (126) has an input responsive to the output of the voltage detection means (144) and has an output providing an indication of the existence of abnormalities in the first starter switching element (131) and the second starter switching element (152) based on the voltage at the connection point (P).

A lock assembly for a vehicle door (10) includes an electrically operable latch means (18) operable between a latched state in which opening of the door is prevented and an unlatched state in which opening of the door is permitted. The lock assembly also includes illuminable push-type switch means (22) which is operable to control the latch means (18), and control means for sensing whether the vehicle is in motion. The control means is configured to disable the switch means (22) in response to vehicle motion above a predetermined speed so as to prevent actuation of the movable latch part, and hence opening of the door, in such circumstances. The lock assembly provided a convenient means of effecting unlocking and opening of the vehicle door to a passenger inside the vehicle.

A luggage system for use in a luggage storage compartment (1; 27) of a vehicle, the luggage storage compartment (1; 27) being defined, in part, by first and second opposed interior walls (3, 4; 29, 30) of the vehicle, the luggage system comprising: two or more movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34) for supporting luggage, wherein the movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34) are movable independently of one another; and support means for the movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34), the support means including first and second support bars or ledges (7, 8, 9, 10; 35, 36) mountable on respective ones of the opposed interior walls (3, 4; 29, 30). The movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34) provide a first luggage storage configuration in which the boards (15, 16; 33, 34) are supported upon a floor (2; 28) of the luggage compartment (1; 27) and a second luggage storage configuration in which at least one of the movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34) is elevated above the luggage compartment floor (2; 28), the support means being arranged to support at least one elevated one of the first and second movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34) in the second luggage storage configuration. The luggage system is characterised in that it includes means (11, 12, 13, 14; 29, 30, 31a, 37, 38, 39, 40) for stabilising at least one elevated one of the first and second movable boards (15, 16; 33, 34) when supported on the first and second support bars or ledges (7, 8, 9, 10; 35, 36).
