A deployable charging point assembly for a vehicle includes a connecting part for connecting to a supply of electrical power separate from the vehicle. The connecting part is mountable on the vehicle, such that the connecting part is movable relative to a body of the vehicle between a first position and a second position. The charging point assembly is configured to establish an electrical connection between the supply of electrical power and an electrical system of the vehicle when the connecting part is in one or more predetermined positions between the first and second positions.

A notification can be generated to notify a user of a value of a first parameter of a vehicle. Generating the notification includes identifying a second parameter based on an association of the second parameter with the first parameter; comparing the value of the first parameter to a first threshold value and a second threshold value; and generating the notification notifying the user of the value of the first parameter based on a value of the second parameter if the value of the first parameter is between the first and second thresholds.

In-vehicle notifications

A vehicle control system for a vehicle, the vehicle control system comprising a controller, wherein the controller has an activatable secondary parked mode in which the controller automatically controls a plurality of components of the vehicle, each component also being controllable by a corresponding user control, and activation of the secondary parked mode changes the state of each component from an in-use state to a parked state when the vehicle attends a delivery or collection.

A roof bar () for a motor vehicle () includes an elongate load carrying member () selectively held in a deployed position by a latch mechanism (). A crossbar portion () of the elongate load carrying member () is wider than it is thick and is orientated such that the width of the crossbar portion () is vertically arranged when the roof bar () is in the deployed position so as to increase the resistance to vertical bending of the crossbar portion ().

A panel, in particular a covering panel or vehicle lining, is provided with a one-piece skin having, in the region of its exposed surface, at least one visual feature with a linear structure imitating or simulating a functional construction, such as a sewing operation. This skin is mounted on a substrate forming the panel body without significant intentional deformation of said preformed skin.
