Abstract: A kickdown switch for an accelerator pedal informs a driver of a misoperation state by using a kickdown switch provided in the accelerator pedal when the driver misoperates the accelerator pedal rather than operating a brake pedal while braking is required. Accordingly, the driver can definitely recognize the misoperation state of the accelerator pedal and rapidly stop misoperation of the accelerator pedal and sudden acceleration of the vehicle, whereby occurrence of accidents can be prevented.

Abstract: A dial type shift lever apparatus warns and limits a driver of mischievous manipulation of a rotation knob, preventing a mal-operation of gear shift and preventing a printed circuit board (PCB) circuit from being overloaded due to excessive manipulation of the rotation knob.

Abstract: A pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes a pedal member to which a pedal arm is rotatably coupled, a cowl bracket fixedly coupled to the pedal member, and a collision rotation bracket coupled to the cowl bracket. The collision rotation bracket is configured to be rotated with respect to the cowl bracket when the collision rotation bracket comes into contact with a vehicle body fixture in accordance with rearward movement of the pedal member caused upon occurrence of a collision accident. The pedal arm is configured to be forcibly pushed in a forward direction by the collision rotation bracket during rotation of the collision rotation bracket, thereby causing the pedal arm to be forcibly rotated in the forward direction.

Abstract: A pedal apparatus for a vehicle may include a pedal housing fixedly disposed in a space in which a driver's foot is located; and an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal pivotably connected to the pedal housing, wherein, when the accelerator pedal is operated, the accelerator pedal pivots independently of the brake pedal, and when the brake pedal is operated, both the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal pivot.

Abstract: A shift lever mechanism has a neutral (N) range shift lock, the shift lever mechanism configured such that when shifting from a drive (D) range to a park (P) range, rotation of a shift lever is confined to the N range, and then, when a shift condition to the P range is satisfied, the shift lever is rotated to allow shifting to the P range, thereby preventing damage to a parking mechanism due to driver error when shifting to the P range.

Abstract: A regulator for clutch actuator includes a housing having a cylindrical damping space inside, a first fluid path interconnecting the damping space and a master cylinder, and a second fluid path interconnecting the damping space and a an operating cylinder. The regulator further includes a flexible valve member contained in the damping space for reducing vibrations. The flexible valve member comprises a first inflow guiding portion configured to receive and guide fluid from the first fluid path. The first inflow guiding portion has a plurality of through holes such that elastic deformation of the first inflow guiding portion reduces vibration when fluid flow into the cylindrical damping space from the master cylinder.

Abstract: A method for controlling a driving mode of an autonomous driving vehicle, may include comparing a current vehicle speed with a reference vehicle speed when a driving mode change signal is generated during driving of the autonomous driving vehicle in manual driving mode; stopping the manual driving mode and executing autonomous driving mode when a result of the comparing indicates that the current vehicle speed is equal to or slower than the reference vehicle speed; and executing the autonomous driving mode or maintaining the manual driving mode which is a current driving mode, depending on a determination result of whether an APS signal is generated or not, when the result of the comparing indicates that current vehicle speed exceeds the reference vehicle speed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a valve apparatus of a urea tank for a vehicle, the valve apparatus configured such that a urea solution injection pipe is flexibly bent and has a float so that a urea injection valve provided at the urea solution injection pipe is prevented from being immersed in the urea solution in the urea tank. Thus, the urea solution can be prevented from being damaged upon freezing in a winter season. Further, when a urea solution is injected, the urea solution injection pipe is straightened by flow pressure of the urea solution such that the float is forced to be immersed in the urea solution in the urea tank, and accordingly the urea solution injection valve is immersed therein. Thus, the urea solution can be efficiently injected into the urea tank.
