Abstract: A method and system for controlling rollover calibration settings of a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle has a roll axis extending from a front end of the vehicle to a back end of the vehicle. The method comprises monitoring an off-road signal indicating whether the vehicle is operating in an off-road mode or a default mode, monitoring a speed signal indicative of the speed of the vehicle, and selecting the rollover calibration settings of the vehicle based on the off-road signal and the speed signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a system for determining vehicle speed. The system has a sensor mounted on a wheel rotatably mounted on the vehicle for sensing centripetal acceleration of said wheel. The sensor generates a signal indicative of the sensed centripetal acceleration, and is arranged to wirelessly transmit the signal. The system additionally has an electronic control unit mounted on the vehicle. The electronic control unit is arranged to receive the signal and determine the speed of the vehicle based on the sensed centripetal acceleration.

Abstract: A steering assist system for a vehicle is provided. The steering assist system includes a steering angle sensor that detects an angular position of a steering wheel. The system also includes one or more first sensors that scan a first area for objects. The first area includes at least a portion of a first zone and at least a portion of a second zone. The first zone is behind or in front of the vehicle and extends substantially the width of the vehicle. The second zone is adjacent to the first zone and extends along a first side of the vehicle and extends in an outward vehicle lengthwise direction from a corner of the vehicle. The system also includes a control module that switches between a first mode and a second mode based on the angular position of the steering wheel. At the first mode the one or more first sensors are utilized to detect objects in at least the portion of the first zone and not in the second zone.

Abstract: A method and system for calibrating speed of a vehicle having a plurality of wheels includes a wheel speed sensor coupled to each of the wheels for providing a first vehicle speed based on an average tire size associated with the plurality of wheels. A GPS sensor provides a second vehicle speed based on a change in position of the vehicle over a predetermined period of time. A control module automatically calibrates the speed of the vehicle based on a comparison of the first and second vehicle speeds.

Abstract: An adjustable pedal system for a motor vehicle is presented. The system includes an adjustable pedal assembly being movable to at least two pedal positions and an adjustable pedal module, responsive to a pedal command, to control the movement of the adjustable pedal assembly. The pedal module includes a lockout module to disable the movement of the adjustable pedal assembly when a predetermined lockout condition is detected. The pedal module is interconnected through a data bus to at least one of vehicle electronic modules. The predetermined lockout condition is communicated to the adjustable pedal module over the data bus.
