A warning system that includes a first sensor configured to measure a first signal representative of the state of a door, at least one trim element having at least one second sensor configured to measure a second signal representative of a force applied to the trim element. The system also includes a warning computer and a warning device to communicate warning data to a user. The computer includes: an acquisition module configured to acquire the first signal and the second signal, a determination module configured to determine the warning data based on the first and second signals. The determination module is configured to determine the warning data if the first signal is representative of an open state of the door and if the second signal is representative of an applied force greater than a threshold force.

A vehicle seat support comprising two rails extending in a longitudinal direction, a central module slidably mounted on the rails and suitable for supporting the vehicle seat, a footrest slidably mounted on the rails in front of the central module and suitable for receiving the feet of an occupant seated on the seat, a first actuation system able to cause the central module to slide along the rails, and a second actuation system able to cause the footrest to slide along the rails independently of the central module.

A method for manufacturing a heating mat for a motor vehicle. The method includes the following steps: providing a heating ply having a deformable structure and two heating elements inserted into the structure, said two heating elements being separated by a deformation area of the structure; stacking the heating ply between an upper layer and a lower layer, wherein at least one of the heating ply and the upper and lower layers includes a thermoformable material; assembling the stack by at least one fastening rod; and thermoforming the stack thus assembled, so as to secure the heating ply and the upper and lower layers into a single piece; and stretching the deformation area in the stacking direction.

A vehicle interior equipment part, intended to be attached on a floor of the vehicle, that provides a heel rest for an occupant. The part includes a floor element having a first portion intended to extend in a substantially horizontal plane and a second portion intended to extend in a tilted plane relative to the first portion. The part further includes an inflatable heel rest attached on the second portion, the heel rest being reversibly deployable between a retracted idle position in which the heel rest is substantially flush with the second portion, and a deployed position in which the heel rest protrudes relative to the second portion.

The device includes supports (), a shelf () rotatably mounted about a transverse axis (B-B') and a mechanism () for articulation of the shelf () relative to the supports (). The mechanism () includes an abutment surface () delimited by the shelf () and a complementary abutment surface () delimited by the support (), which are intended to slide on each other during the pivoting of the shelf () about its transverse axis (B-B&#x2032;) in order to prevent radial movement of the shelf () towards the front with respect to the transverse axis (B-B&#x2032;). The mechanism () includes a retaining surface () integral with the shelf () and a complementary retaining surface () defined by each support () which co-operate for each inclined position of the shelf () in order to prevent radial movement of the shelf () towards the rear with respect to the transverse axis (B-B&#x2032;).
