A system for cooling a battery of an electrified vehicle includes a vehicle air-conditioning system having a first cooling circuit in which a first cooling medium circulates, a second cooling circuit in which a second cooling medium circulates, a cooling unit in thermal contact with the battery, wherein the second cooling medium flows through the cooling unit, and with a heat exchanger through which the first and second cooling media flow in separate channels which are in thermal contact, wherein in the heat exchanger, heat is discharged from the second cooling medium towards the first cooling medium.

A head-up display in a motor vehicle has an image combiner movable between an active position, in which it is situated in the field of view of a driver of the vehicle, and an inactive position, in which it is situated close to a surface of or within an instrument panel. The position of the image combiner is controlled depending on signals from vehicle devices that indicate a likelihood or probability of a fogging condition of the windshield. The fogging condition may be indicated by a driver actuation of a windshield defogging/heating system.
