  • Publication number: 20230068777
    Abstract: A process (1) for de-icing a glazed surface (20) of a vehicle (2) is disclosed. A de-icing device (21) includes a wiper system (210) with at least one device for spraying a liquid (L, Lq), and is used to perform a method involving verification (E1) of a primary condition (C1) according to which the ignition (Cc) of the said vehicle (2) is activated, verification (E2) of a secondary condition (C2) according to which the exterior temperature (t) is below a temperature threshold (Th1), verification (E3) of a tertiary condition (C3) according to which a demisting function (fd) is activated; and when all of the conditions are fulfilled, then activation (E4) of the de-icing device (21) in order to start a de-icing cycle (Cy). The de-icing cycle (Cy) comprising spraying by the device for spraying of the liquid (L, Lq) onto the glazed surface (20).

  • Publication number: 20230065330
    Abstract: A cleaning method (1) for cleaning a glazed surface (20) of a vehicle (2), said vehicle (2) comprising a cleaning device (21) comprising a wiping system (210) with at least one spray device for spraying a liquid (Lq), characterized in that said cleaning method (1) involves verifying (E1) a first condition (C1) that the current season (sc) is spring or summer, verifying (E2) a second condition (C2) which is the probability (pb) of there being insect strike (is) on said glazed surface (20), and verifying (E3) a third condition (C3) that said vehicle (2) is stopped. If all of the conditions (C) are met, then activating (E4) the cleaning device to begin a cleaning cycle (Cy), and executing (E5) the cleaning cycle (Cy) using said cleaning device (21).

  • Publication number: 20220194324
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a pattern projecting lamp and a motor vehicle—in particular, a motor vehicle comprising a pattern projecting lamp. The pattern projecting lamp comprises an optical module configured to provide a projection light beam having a pattern, a support comprising a base and a rotary arm connected rotatably to the base, wherein the optical module is disposed in the rotary arm, and the rotary arm is provided with a light exit for the projection light beam to be emitted through. The pattern projecting lamp can project a light beam having a predetermined pattern at a suitable angle, as tailored to display additional information or provide auxiliary illumination on the vehicle body of the motor vehicle or at a peripheral region of the motor vehicle.
