A deaerating device is provided for a drive component in a motor vehicle. The deaerating device has an access line, a membrane deaerator, which includes a deaerating membrane, and an discharge air side. The deaerating device is designed to fluidically connect the interior of a drive component to the area surrounding the drive component. The deaerating membrane is arranged downstream of the access line and upstream of the discharge air side in a planned flow direction from the drive component into the area surrounding the drive component. The access line has an aerosol trap which has a labyrinth element for accumulating liquid on at least one wall of the labyrinth element, and the aerosol trap is designed as a separate component with respect to the access line and the membrane deaerator.

A connection device for a ventilation element includes a transmission connection and a vent connection, the vent connection connects the connection device to a ventilation element, the component connection has a connection piece extending along a connecting axis, and a torsion ring surrounding the connection piece. A connecting rocker is arranged on the torsion ring, and the torsion ring is connected to the connection piece by a connecting bridge, and the connecting rocker has an actuation section and an engaging section for forming an interlocking connection. The torsion ring runs between the actuation section and the engaging section in a connecting region, in which it is connected to the connecting rocker, and the connecting bridge has a connecting arm, which starts from the connection piece and extends in the direction of the connecting axis up to the torsion ring and retains same at a radial distance from the connection piece.

A start/stop device initiates an automatic activation process of an automatically deactivated drive machine of a motor vehicle, in particular of a motor vehicle with an automatic transmission. The drive machine can be automatically deactivated when the motor vehicle is traveling, and the automatically deactivated drive machine can be activated on the basis of driver actions. The start/stop device is configured to initiate an automatic activation of the drive machine which is automatically deactivated when the motor vehicle is traveling on the basis of a detected drive dynamic desired by the driver.

A start-stop device for commencing an automatic switch-off process of a drive machine in a motor vehicle includes means for detecting a first trigger condition for initiating an automatic switch-off process, means for detecting a second trigger condition for initiating an automatic switch-off process if the first trigger condition can no longer be met, and means for initiating an automatic switch-off process of the drive machine if the first trigger condition or the second trigger condition is met.

Start-stop device for commencing an automatic switch-off process of a drive machine

A start-stop device initiates an automatic switch-off process of a driving machine in a motor vehicle. The start-stop device is designed to automatically switch off the driving machine when predefined switch-off conditions are met. The start-stop device has a stop coordinator which identifies a switch-off behavior suitable for the switch-off process on the basis of available information and ensures that the identified switch-off behavior is implemented when an automatic switch-off process is initiated.
