Abstract: The invention relates to a detection device (1) for a motor vehicle (VI) comprising at least one optical detector (3). Said at least one optical detector (3) being configured for detecting the approach of a person (U) in a predefined area in the vicinity of the vehicle in order to activate opening command means of a device for opening a movable panel (5, 7) of the vehicle (VI). According to the invention:—said detection device (1) comprises switching means for switching the function of the at least one optical detector (3) to a detecting function of an obstacle (V2) at a predefined distance of the vehicle (VI) when the identifier of an authorized person (U) is detected inside the vehicle (VI) and the vehicle movable panels (5, 7) are closed, and wherein—said detection device (1) comprises processing means configured to react depending on a detection of an obstacle (V2) by the optical sensor (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a lock for an anti-theft device for a motor vehicle steering column comprising a rotor (5), a stator head (4), a lug (13) and a complementary profile (14), one supported by the rotor (5) and the other by the stator head (4), the complementary profile (14) being shaped such that the engagement of same with the lug (13) blocks the rotation of the rotor (5) in a predetermined direction of rotation (AR) from a predetermined angular position (PIA) and allows the rotation of the rotor (5) by pushing the rotor (5) in beforehand. The complementary profile (14) is also shaped so that the engagement of the complementary profile (14) and the lug (13) guides the assembly of the rotor (5) in the stator head (4) according to a push-rotated assembly in which the rotor (5) is axially retained in the stator head (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for opening a movable panel of a motor vehicle, including the following steps: Step A (1)—the presence of at least one body part of a person is detected by a capacitive or non-capacitive sensor; Step B (2)—the person is authenticated as being authorized to unlock the vehicle by an authentication means; Step C (5)—a virtual switch is produced by projecting a light pattern onto the ground on which the motor vehicle is standing; and Step D (6)—the person positions his/her foot so as to obscure the virtual switch in a predetermined manner; Step E (7)—if the foot is not positioned in the predetermined manner, a signal is sent to restart step D, or if the foot is positioned in the predetermined manner, a control means opens the movable panel.
