An airbag deployment door for a motor vehicle, the airbag deployment door having a panel and a hinge formed along one side of the panel. The hinge is configured to couple to a panel on the vehicle to allow the panel to pivot, a tear seam extending on an opposite side of the panel, wherein the tear seam is configured to open during the deployment of an airbag, and a scoring line extending through the panel in the shape of a generally Y-shape to form first, second, and third panel members, wherein the scoring lines allow the first, second, and third panel members to fold during deployment of the airbag.

A vehicle display screen mounting assembly includes an instrument panel and a display screen coupled to a casing. The casing includes a protrusion extending from a back surface of the casing towards the instrument panel. A bushing is positioned within a receiving channel defined by the protrusion. An attachment feature is coupled to the protrusion of the casing and is coupled to the instrumental panel via a bracket.

A locationally adjustable actuator is provided having a force input to a rod operatively associated with an automotive vehicle control. The actuator includes two parallelogram linkages which link an actuator pedal to a rod link which is pivotally connected with a rod which provides an automotive vehicle control input. The parallelogram arrangement is furthermore connected with a slider which is linearly adjustable with respect to the vehicle. Movement of the slider causes the actuator pedal to be linearly adjusted.

Adjustable pedal assembly

An adjustable automotive pedal system includes a parallel bar suspension system for a foot pedal assembly system, such that the foot pedal can be adjusted toward the driver seat or away from the driver seat without adversely changing the force-stroke relationship between the foot pedal and the component being controlled by the foot pedal. The pedal system can be used with the vehicle brake, or vehicle clutch, or accelerator linkage.

A selectively operable storage system incorporated within the passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle is described. The storage system is preferably deployed underneath the rear seat structure, for example, below the seat bottom structure. The storage system can include any number and combination of selectively operable sliding trays, pivoting trays, collapsible trays, pivoting lids, storage bins, and track systems.
