Abstract: An arrangement for connecting an accessory to a power source and to an electronic device of a vehicle. The arrangement includes: a power connector connecting the accessory to the power source, a signal connector connecting the accessory with the electronic device of the vehicle, a locking mechanism locking the power connector in position, and a locking mechanism locking the signal connector in position. The power connector lock and the signal connector lock are configured such that the signal connector can only be locked in the connected position after the power connector has been locked in the mounted position. The arrangement is suitable, for example, for an electric power steering device.

Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine for regenerating an exhaust gas purifying mechanism arranged on an exhaust line of the engine during a phase of regeneration of the purifying mechanism. The method analyzes an exhaust gas composition solely downstream of the purifying mechanism and develops, based on the analysis, a control signal for the engine to modify an exhaust gas composition upstream of the purifying mechanism.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for controlling an internal combustion engine (2) for regenerating exhaust gas purifying means (14) arranged on an exhaust line (4) of the engine (2), during a phase of regeneration of the purifying means (14), which consists in: analyzing an exhaust gas composition solely downstream of the purifying means (14), and developing based on said analysis a control signal for the engine (2) to modify an exhaust gas composition upstream of the purifying means (14).
