Abstract: An input face of a lens includes an upper portion configured to divert the light rays so that they are substantially parallel to the horizontal midplane (P2), and a lower portion configured to reduce the vertical opening angle (?) of the light beam, according to the vertical axis (Z). The output face of the lens includes a central vertical portion substantially planar and orthogonal to the optical axis. On either side of the central vertical portion, a lateral portion is configured to divert each light ray in the direction of the vertical midplane (P1), according to an amplitude of deflection that is even larger as the point of incidence of the light ray on said lateral portion is close to the vertical midplane (P1).

Abstract: A modular light-signaling device for a vehicle includes a plurality of modules, each module being provided with one or several lighting function(s). The plurality of modules include at least one master module and at least one slave module, the master module having a control unit adapted to pilot the lighting function(s) of the master module and of the slave module.
Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle wherein the method comprises using a distance sensor to determine the distance between a part of the vehicle and an object, and implementing a speed control procedure if the distance detected by the distance sensor falls below a predetermined value, characterized in that the method is implemented only while the vehicle is in reverse gear and for a period of time immediately following disengagement of the reverse gear.
