摘要:
An occupant detection system (10) for controlling the activation of an air bag inflator module (16) incorporates radar module (12), the activation of which is responsive to an activation sensor responsive to either the likelihood of a crash or to the liklihood of injury from the air bag inflator module (16) as a result of proximity thereto. In one embodiment, responsive to a potential crash, the air bag inflator module activates the radar module (12) for a period of time to sense if an occupant is within the at-risk zone of the air bag inflator module. In another embodiment, the activation of the radar module (12) is responsive to a continuously active range/proximity sensor (22). The air bag inflator is disabled if an occupant is detected within the at-risk zone of the air bag inflator module (16).
摘要:
A mirror includes an electrochromic mirror subassembly (20) including front and rear transparent elements (21, 22), a layer of electrochromic material (25) associated with the front and rear transparent elements (21, 22), and a reflective layer (26), a portion of the reflective layer (26) defining an opening (27). An indicia panel (28) is located proximate the mirror subassemply (20) and covers the opening (27), and one or more light sources (29) are positioned to pass light through the indicia panel (28) and the opening (27) of the electrochromic mirror subassembly (20) to illuminate detailed symbols and information on the indicia panel (28). The indicia panel (28) is adhered to the mirror subassembly (20), and a housing and a mating bezel are configured to receive the mirror subassembly (20). A foam light seal is located between the printed circuit board and the indicia panel (28) and is shaped to sealingly engage the printed circuit board and the indicia panel (28) to prevent light leakage around the indicia panel (28).

摘要:
An airbag deactivation system for the airbags mounted in a motor vehicle. The system provides a switch and circuitry to allow for selective deactivation of driver and/or passenger airbags in a motor vehicle via a conventional ignition key inserted into a key cylinder. The switch includes interchangeable key cylinders having switch limiting means for selectively limiting the switch movement to less than all of the at least three available switch positions.
摘要:
An arrangement for selectively disconnecting an airbag fitted within a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a visible warning means (10) retractable within a component (12) and adapted to be withdrawn to extend over at least a predetermined region of the component (12). The warning means (10) cooperates with airbag deployment means (19; 32) such that when the warning means is in its retracted position, the airbag deployment means (19) is armed and when the warning means is in its withdrawn position, the airbag deployment means is disarmed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle and to a method for operating a drive assistance system of a motor vehicle. The invention comprises a detection means (24, 28, 30) for predetermined, instantaneous environmental parameters of a momentary traffic situation, a comparing means (28; 34) for comparing the detected instantaneous environmental parameters with stored environmental parameters which are acceptable for the driver assistance system. The inventive system also comprises an activating/deactivating means (28) for deactivating the drive assistance system if predetermined, instantaneous environmental parameters are located outside the environmental parameters which are acceptable for the driver assistance system, or the driver assistance system is activated if predetermined, instantaneous environmental parameters are located within the environmental parameters which are acceptable for the driver assistance system.
摘要:
The invention relates to an input device in a motor vehicle and to a passenger classification method, characterized in that the driver or another user requests a passenger classification input. Said input is compared with an automatically produced passenger classification and, according to the result of said comparison, a warning is issued, a passenger classification is transmitted to the control device for the restraint system and/or a new input is required.
摘要:
An airbag door (1) for an airbag (not illustrated) capable of being switched between an enabled state and a disarmed state, in which the airbag door (1) includes an airbag enabled state display (3) switchable from a first display (5) in which the display shows indicia representing the enabled state of the airbag to a second display (7) in which the display shows indicia representing the disarmed state of the airbag.
