Abstract: An opening and closing control apparatus includes an automatic sliding door controller that controls a drive of an opening and closing driving mechanism. The automatic sliding door controller determines whether a request is a manual operating request or an automatic operating request on the basis of a signal from a press switch that is switched on by a press-on operation. In the case of the automatic operating request, the automatic sliding door controller is configured so that an automatic opening and closing determination process determines whether a request is an opening operating request or a closing operating request based on the detection of door state detection section, and an opening and closing process is then executed by operating the opening and closing driving mechanism based on the determination.

Abstract: An automatic driving position adjustment system and its method are disclosed in which a manual adjustment to a first adjustable component results in the automatic adjustment of a second adjustable component. When the position or angle of a seat or other first adjustable component is adjusted by the driver, a detector measures the relative change in position or angle of the first adjustable component. A controller computes the required change in position or angle of the second adjustable component by multiplying a prescribed coefficient by the relative change in position or angle of the first adjustable component.

Abstract: Opening and closing control method includes commencing an open or close operation of a vehicle component in response to an instruction signal for starting the open or close operation and ending the open or close operation if a wireless controller leaves a prescribed range of the vehicle prior to completion of the open or close operation.

Abstract: A windshield wiping device includes a control amplifier 5 for controlling a wiper motor 7 in accordance with a driver's operation of a wiper switch 3. When a vehicle is energized, the control amplifier 5 once outputs a working inhibition signal to a working inhibition relay 15 in order to stop the operation of the wiper. Thus, it is possible to avoid the wiper's working against the driver's will immediately after a key switch has been switched on. When the vehicle begins to travel or the position of the wiper switch 3 is changed by the driver, then the wiper is activated in accordance with the position of the wiper switch 3.

Abstract: In automatic door locking apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle for locking and unlocking vehicle doors, a first timer unit in a controller starts a counting operation of a first set time period responsive to an unlock signal generated by a comparator so arranged as to compare a signal received by a receiver of a keyless entry system from a transmitter carried by an authorized operator operated to transmit a coded unlock signal with a preset code stored in a memory so as to determine whether the received code matches the preset code and, upon a match, to generate the unlock signal. When the first set time period is passed with no door of the vehicle opened, the automatic door locking is carried out via a door lock actuator to lock the vehicle doors.

Abstract: In an anti-theft warning apparatus in a trunk unlatching device for a vehicle, a drive switch is inserted between a trunk opener cancel switch and a trunk opener switch. The drive switch is activated so as to make an activation of the trunk opener cancel switch ineffective when an anti-theft warning function is set, i.e., an armed state is established in the vehicle.
