Abstract: A device for detecting and displaying the rear and/or side traffic of a motor vehicle is to be improved upon such that the driver can safely and quickly detect the present traffic situation by way of the overall image shown, in particular when the direction of travel is changed. This is accomplished in that the device for detecting and displaying the rear and/or side view of a motor vehicle (1) comprises a first apparatus (3) for producing images of the optically detected rear view (A), one or more further apparatuses (2) for producing images of the optical side view (B,C) of the motor vehicle (1), a display apparatus (6) adapted to display images or image sections of the first and/or the further apparatuses (2, 3) in partial areas (T1, T2), and a control apparatus (5) adapted to select the images or image sections and to assign them to the partial areas (T1, T2).

Abstract: A sensor module is mounted at a windshield of a vehicle. The sensor module can be connected, via a fastening section that is arranged on a module housing, to an element that is fixed to the vehicle body or to an element which is connected to a part that is fixed to the vehicle body. A sensor is accommodated in the module housing and is retained such that it can be displaced and/or pivoted from a first starting position into a second end position in order to rest against the windscreen. The adjusting movement can be initiated by an adjusting element which can be preloaded in the direction of the end position by means of a spring element and can be blocked in the starting position by means of a blocking element. Also, a delaying element is provided that can influence a parameter of the adjusting movement.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve a sensor module that is mounted in the region of a windshield of a motor vehicle in such a way that said sensor module is easier to mount and damage to the sensor during the mounting process can be prevented as much as possible. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the sensor module (2, 20) can be connected, via a fastening section (10) that is arranged on a module housing (3, 30), to an element that is fixed to the vehicle body or to an element which is connected to a part that is fixed to the vehicle body. Furthermore, a sensor (4, 40) is accommodated in the module housing (3, 30). Said sensor (4, 40) is retained such that it can be displaced and/or pivoted from a first starting position into a second end position in order to rest against the windscreen (1).
