Abstract: A molded part includes a plurality of surfaces and an embossment extending from one of the plurality of surfaces. The embossment includes a body and a bore extending through a central portion of the body. The embossment further includes a first pocket extending through a sidewall of the body and into the bore and a second pocket extending through an opposite sidewall of the body and into the bore. The first pocket and the second pocket each define inwardly tapered walls. The first pocket and the second pocket are spaced axially along the body and are diametrically opposed.

Abstract: A key fob includes selectors for performing conventional remote operations (e.g., locking/unlocking doors) as well as a “pet mode” selector. When the pet mode selector is pressed by a user, a coded wireless signal is sent to a vehicle computer. The vehicle computer is operatively connected to multiple vehicle systems that each controls various features of the vehicle. Responsive to receipt of the coded wireless signal, the vehicle computer instructs a selected group of the systems to operate in a specified manner so as to create a comfortable environment for a pet within the vehicle. For example, in pet mode, the vehicle computer may cause one or more windows to lower, the sunroof to open the trunk lift gate to pivot open, and the seat backs of one or more rows of seats to tilt or fold down.
