    Abstract: A vehicle interface input receiving method comprises operating a controller to selectively enter or refrain from entering a user input device controlling mode. While in the user input device controlling mode, the method determines a presence of first and second contact conditions at first and second predetermined locations, respectively, with the first contact condition being on a vehicle steering wheel, and controls a user input device to change from a deactivated state to an activated state in response to the simultaneous existence of the first and second contact conditions. Also, an indicator provides an indication of the activated state, and the user input device is maintained in the activated state while the first contact condition continues to exist. The user input device provides input to the controller in the activated state and refrains from providing such input in the deactivated state, and afterward returns to the deactivated state.

    Abstract: A vehicle storage structure has a box structure with a cargo compartment, a lid and a locking mechanism. The lid is movable between a lowered orientation covering the cargo compartment and a raised orientation exposing the cargo compartment. The lid has a first section and a second section connected to one another via a hinge. The second section is pivotally movable such that with the first section in the lowered orientation, the second section pivots between a retracted position overlaying the first section and an extended position defining a flat cargo receiving surface. The locking mechanism is fixedly attached to the first section of the lid and is configured to releasably lock the lid in the lowered orientation.

    Abstract: An automatic transmission control arrangement includes an automatic transmission coupled to a propulsion device. A selector device is operably connected to the automatic transmission for selecting a mode of operation of the automatic transmission including at least a forward drive setting. A temperature sensor arrangement measures a control temperature of at least one of a cooling system of the propulsion device and the automatic transmission. A motion sensor arrangement detects a motion status of the vehicle. The controller temporarily operates the automatic transmission in a decoupled mode in which the automatic transmission is at least partially decoupled from the propulsion device with the selector device in the forward drive setting in order to reduce heat generation in response to the temperature sensor arrangement detecting the control temperature is greater than a predetermined temperature and the motion sensor indicating that the vehicle is not in motion.
