Abstract: A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle for automated driving includes automated longitudinal guidance, wherein, when automated longitudinal guidance is active in an automatic mode, automated longitudinal guidance is initiated in consideration of a predefinable setpoint speed.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a high-voltage battery that has a housing and at least one battery cell arranged in the housing. The battery cell has a battery cell housing with an emergency degassing opening which opens at a specified cell inner pressure and through which hot or burning gas can pass out of the interior of the battery cell housing into the housing of the high-voltage battery in the event of a disruption or damage to the battery cell. The emergency degassing opening faces a housing wall against which hot or burning gas flows in the event of the disruption or damage to the battery cell. The housing wall of the high-voltage battery is designed to be more thermally resistant locally in the region in which the emergency degassing opening is arranged and in which the hot or burning gas flows out of the battery cell housing in the event of a disruption or damage to the battery cell than in the wall regions at a distance from the emergency degassing opening.

Abstract: A gearbox system for a vehicle includes an automated manual gearbox; a gearbox control device which controls the gearbox; a monostable toggle switch which is movable by a user in two deflection directions to select a plurality of driving ranges of the gearbox control device, and a visual device which displays graphically a gearshift diagram with driving ranges selectable by the monostable toggle switch. The gearbox control device has a further driving range which cannot be selected by the monostable toggle switch but can be exited by moving the monostable toggle switch. The visual device has at least one display to display a symbol indicating at least one deflection direction by which the further driving range can be exited. The gearbox control device may control the at least one display such that the symbol is only displayed when the further driving range is selected.

Abstract: A vehicle has a body and a high-voltage accumulator, which is attached to the body via fastening elements, and at least one central connector, which is different from the fastening elements and which is designed to support the body on the high-voltage accumulator. The central connector has a rubber mount with a threaded sleeve, which has a cylindrical wall with an internal thread and an external thread. The external thread is engaged with a compensation bushing. A screw element for connecting the body and rubber mount is screwed into the internal thread, and the rubber mount extends between the body and the high-voltage accumulator.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit is configured to control an automatic flap and/or door. The flap and/or door is automatically transferrable from an open position into a closed position by at least one actuator. The flap and/or door is configured to press against a seal when in the closed position. In relation to a closing operation of the flap and/or door, the control unit is configured to determine time information in relation to an open state time duration during which the flap and/or door was in the open position before the closing operation. In relation to a closing operation of the flap and/or door, the control unit is also configured to operate the at least one actuator configured for the closing operation as a function of the time information.

Abstract: A measuring rod for measuring a fill level of a lubricant in a reservoir of an internal combustion engine includes a rod element, at one end of which is arranged a measuring tongue which can be submerged into the lubricant and by which the fill level can be measured and can be detected visually. At least one sealing element is arranged on the measuring tongue, by way of which the measuring rod can be sealed in relation to a guide tube for guiding the measuring rod.

Abstract: A control unit for an automatic transmission of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a gear selection operating element which allows a user of the vehicle to set different drive positions of the transmission, but not individual gears, by actuating the gear selection operating element. The control unit is configured to determine that a drive position “L” has been set using the gear selection operating element, and in response thereto, the control unit is also configured to provide a graphical user interface on a screen of the vehicle. The user interface allows a manual gear shift of the transmission.

Abstract: A convertible top element for a convertible vehicle has, in sequence: an outer cover layer, a coupling layer, a convertible top bow, an absorber layer and an inner cover layer.

Abstract: A current-compensated inductor for filtering interference signals which are transmitted between two high-voltage components of a high-voltage on-board electrical system of a motor vehicle, includes a toroidal, in particular circular ring-shaped or oval ring-shaped, magnet core which surrounds an inner opening, and has at least two busbars for electrically connecting the two high-voltage components. The busbars are routed axially through the inner opening of the magnet core and are arranged at a distance from one another in the inner opening so as to form an air gap. An inner side of the magnet core, which inner side faces the inner opening, and regions of outer sides of the busbars, which regions face the inner side of the magnet core, have shapes which correspond to one another.

Abstract: A motorcycle trim component includes a hose guide designed to receive and hold a hose. The hose guide is formed integrally with the motorcycle trim component. The hose guide is designed to be incorporated into a motorcycle assembly having a brake line, with the brake line being accommodated in the hose guide.

Abstract: A method for starting an internal combustion engine and a motor vehicle are provided. The internal combustion engine includes a plurality of cylinders. To start the internal combustion engine while deactivated, a predefined amount of working gas is introduced into the cylinder that fires first. A crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is driven by an electric motor and by the movement of a piston coupled to the crankshaft and associated with the cylinder that fires first to introduce the predefined amount of working gas. Subsequently, the internal combustion engine is started by the ignition of a mixture including the predefined amount of working gas and a predefined amount of fuel inside the cylinder that fires first.
