Abstract: A transmission system avoids activation of a sailing functionality in a vehicle. The transmission system is configured for automatic gear-shifting in an automatic mode and manual gear-shifting by a user in a manual mode. The transmission system includes a user input device configured for manually changing the operational mode between the automatic and manual modes. The transmission system includes a transmission control unit for determining a recommended gear in the automatic and manual modes. In the manual mode, an operating gear of the transmission system is detected by the transmission control unit. A change of the operational mode from manual to automatic by means of the user input device is detected, and if the detected operating gear in the manual mode when changing to automatic mode is lower than the recommended gear, the sailing functionality in the automatic mode is deactivated.

Abstract: A view support system at a vehicle for supporting a vehicle occupant to see the surroundings of the vehicle includes: a first camera configured to obtain an image of the surroundings in a first direction of the vehicle; a display configured to display the image of the surroundings in the first direction of the vehicle; a processing circuitry operatively connected to the first camera and the display, the processing circuitry is configured to: detect a signal indicative of an impaired visibility of the surroundings in a first direction through a vehicle window for the vehicle occupant of the vehicle; and display the image of the surroundings in the first direction of the vehicle, obtained by the first camera at the display, to the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A system for generating a linkage between a vehicle and a user and for generating a linkage between users includes: a display device to display image data of a code; a communication device to communicate with a portable electronic device; a processing circuitry operatively connected to the display device and the communication device and configured to generate a unique code to be displayed, display the unique code at the display device to be read by a portable electronic device associated with a user, receive a determination that the unique code has been read by the portable electronic device associated with the user, and establish a trusted linkage between the vehicle and the user based on the presence of the portable electronic device at the vehicle.

Abstract: A park lock assembly for a vehicle transmission includes a toothed park lock gear and a moveable locking pawl that is moveable between an engaged state, in which the locking pawl is in locking engagement with the park lock gear, and a disengaged state, in which the park lock gear is freely rotatable relative to the locking pawl. The park lock assembly also includes an inductive angular position sensor located on an axial side of the park lock gear and configured for detecting angular position of the park lock gear.

Abstract: A method for turning off an internal combustion engine (ICE) where a clutch arrangement has first and second clutches that respectively couple the ICE to first and second input shafts of a transmission. The input shafts are drivingly connected to first and second sets of gears, respectively. The sets of gears are connected to an output shaft of the transmission. The method includes: controlling the ICE in an idling state when the vehicle is in standstill, wherein the clutches are in open positions; engaging the first input shaft with a first pre-selected gear, and engaging the second input shaft with a second pre-selected gear; initiating an engine turning off command; stopping the ICE by at least partly closing the clutches for simultaneously introducing torque transfer to the clutches into a transmission tie-up state for a controlled engine stop, wherein engine inertia of the ICE is captured in the clutches.

Abstract: A method for engine braking of a vehicle includes: —detecting a state indicative of a desired engine braking of the vehicle, and—controlling an engine speed to a set engine speed target value by controlling a powertrain component in response to the detected state of a desired engine braking.

Abstract: A method for controlling the views of the surroundings of a vehicle by a vehicle occupant includes determining an operational mode of a control switch controlling a camera view direction of at least a first camera by the control switch, when the control switch is in a first operational mode; and controlling a mirror view direction of at least a first side mirror by the control switch, when the control switch is in a second operational mode.

Abstract: An auto-stop start system for a vehicle. The auto-stop start system has a control unit with an auto-stop start function controlling stop and start of an engine of the vehicle, and a control device by which control device the auto-stop start function can be temporarily deactivated by an operator of the vehicle. The control unit is configured to reactivate the auto-stop start function after a predetermined duration of a temporary deactivation. The predetermined duration of the temporary deactivation of the auto-stop start function is selectable by means of the control device.

Abstract: A method for controlling an auto-stop start system of a vehicle includes sending a message to an operator of the vehicle requesting the operator to perform an action for enabling activation of an auto-stop start function of the auto-stop start system, and provided that such a requested action is identified to have been performed, enabling activation of the auto-stop start function.
