Abstract: A position determination unit determines whether a position of the vehicle is in proximity to a carwash. A shift determination unit determines a shift position of a transmission device of the vehicle. A brake determination unit determines activation of a brake device of the vehicle. A control unit determines that a condition to implement a carwash preparation is satisfied when the position determination unit determines that the position of the vehicle is in proximity to the carwash, when the shift determination unit determines that the shift position is in a neutral position, and when the brake determination unit determines that the brake device is deactivated.

Abstract: A method of displaying virtual lane markings relative to a vehicle position within a roadway lane may entail reading vehicle data such as speed into a vehicle control module, determining if the vehicle data is above a particular threshold, switching a virtual lane display switch, determining weather conditions, and displaying virtual lane markings upon a vehicle windshield based upon a result of determining weather conditions. Detecting actual lane markings on one or both of a left side of the roadway lane and a right side of the roadway lane may be accomplished with a vehicle-mounted camera. Moreover, determining whether a steering wheel has rotated a predetermined number of degrees may further play a role in displaying the virtual lane markings on a windshield of the vehicle. From a driver viewing perspective through a windshield, virtual lane markings may be displayed on the windshield to overlay actual lane markings.
