A system for operating a handleless door of an automobile having an outer surface includes a remotely-controlled door latch, a sensor disposed at at least one of: disposed behind a window seal; assembled on the window seal; and overmolded in the window seal, and configured to sense an input from a user to open the door, the window seal being configured to transmit an input force to the sensor, and an antenna configured to receive a radio signal from a key fob in vicinity of the antenna. The system also includes a passive entry passive start (PEPS) system coupled to the antenna to authenticate the key fob as being associated with the automobile and a controller configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicating the user provided input to open the door, receive an authentication signal from the PEPS system to authenticate the key fob, and cause the remotely-controlled door latch to release based on receiving the signal from the sensor and the authentication signal from PEPS system.

Handleless door for vehicle

A multi-view imaging system for a vehicle includes a housing fixedly secured external to the vehicle and an extendable camera configured to image a side and/or rear from the vehicle and to extend from and retract into the housing. The multi-view imaging system further includes an actuator configured to urge the extendable camera out of and into the housing.

Deployable side shark fin with integrated side view camera and sensing device

A deployable display for use in a vehicle is provided. The deployable display can be positioned in a plurality of stowed or a plurality of deployed positions, wherein the deployable display functions as a sun visor located in front of a windshield of the vehicle when it is in a first one of the plurality of deployed positions and when the deployable display is in a second one of the plurality of deployed positions or the first one of the plurality of deployed positions the deployable display functions as a screen that provides images from a controller operatively coupled to the deployable display.

Multi-position electronic smart sunshade

A seat adjustment apparatus includes a first rail and a second rail each having a plurality of openings that extend along a longitudinal axis, the openings being defined by spaced-apart locking surfaces. A locking mechanism having first and second locking portions is configured to engage the first and second rails. The first and second locking portions are selectively rotatable between a released position and a locked position. In the locked position, the first and second locking portions are configured for relative axial movement along the longitudinal axis such that the interaction of the locking mechanism with portions of the first and second rails attenuates longitudinal freeplay therebetween.

Adjustable seat track having track engagement structure

A seat adjustment apparatus comprises a first rail () and a second rail () each having a plurality of openings that extend along a longitudinal axis, the openings being defined by spaced-apart locking surfaces. A locking mechanism having first () and second () locking portions is configured to engage the first and second rails. The first () and second () locking portions are selectively rotatable between a released position and a locked position. In the locked position, the first and second locking portions are configured for relative axial movement along the longitudinal axis such that the interaction of the first and second locking portions of the locking mechanism with the spaced-apart locking surfaces of the openings of the first and second rails attenuates longitudinal freeplay therebetween.

Adjustable seat track having improved track engagement structure

A seat assembly having a moveable headrest assembly disposed on a support post. The headrest assembly has a latching mechanism configured to engage the support post to inhibit movement of the headrest assembly in a first direction.

Seat assembly having a moveable head restraint

A folding vehicle seat assembly for an automotive vehicle comprising at least one movable seat portion, and at least one fluid powered actuator. The actuators are connected to an operating system which is selectively activatable by a vehicle occupant. The movable seat portion is movably mountable within the vehicle and connected to an actuator. The actuator, when activated, is arranged to move the movable seat portion between a seating position for supporting a seat occupant and a stowed position.

Hydraulically powered folding vehicle seat fold

A vehicle seat adjustment system for adjusting the position of a portion of a vehicle seat. The system comprises a hydraulic actuator, a primary activation system for operating the hydraulic actuator and adjusting the seat position, and a secondary activation system for the hydraulic actuator. The secondary activation system is arranged to be activated in the event of a detected crash, to provide for movement of the hydraulic actuator to automatically adjust the position of a portion of the seat towards a predetermined position. The secondary activation system comprises a chamber to allow fluid to be displaced from the hydraulic actuator into the chamber. The secondary activation system may additionally comprise a fluid injection unit which supplies a quantity of fluid, preferably gas, to the actuator.
