A wind deflector for a vehicle is disclosed. The wind deflector includes at least one housing element, at least one deflector element which is at least partially received in the housing element, at least one actuator via which the deflector element is able to move in a linearly oscillating manner relative to the housing element in at least one spatial direction, and at least one sealing element via which the deflector element is sealed at least in one partial region against the housing element. The sealing element is formed as a flexible membrane which is arranged on the one hand on the housing element and on the other hand on the deflector element to be able to move with this.

Wind deflector for a vehicle

A sensor system and method for detecting particles, in particular dirt particles or water droplets on a vehicle windscreen, comprising an optical sensor (). The sensor () operates on the basis of light transit time and receives light signals (S) that are emitted by an emitter element and that are at least partially reflected, wherein the emitter element and the sensor () are located and aligned on the exterior of the vehicle, on or in the vicinity of a tailgate, hatchback or trunk lid () of said vehicle () in such a way that particles on the tailgate, hatchback or trunk lid () can be detected by means of the sensor () by sensing the part of light signals (S) emitted by the emitter element that is backscattered by the particles.

A driving authorization system comprises an electronic immobilizer function which is coupled to a rotary shaft sensor. The rotary shaft sensor senses the position and/or rotational speed of the rotary shaft by means of a pickup wheel arranged on a rotary shaft, and transmits that information to a vehicle control unit which enables the electronic immobilizer function. According to the invention, the pickup wheel comprises a predefined number of teeth which are arranged distributed along the circumference of the pickup wheel according to a code, and an encoded rotational speed signal which is picked up by the rotary shaft sensor and can be decoded by the vehicle control unit. The vehicle control unit enables the immobilizer function only after successful decoding of the encoded rotational speed signal. A synchronization time for detecting a specific position of the rotary shaft is part of the encoded rotational speed signal.
