  • Patent number: 11691578
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a power-supply control unit that sets a power supply to an off state when either a first power-off condition in which a user performs a power-off operation or a second power-off condition in which a first predetermined time elapses from the time when the user U gets off the vehicle with the power supply in an on state is satisfied; and a power-on-condition setting unit that: sets a power-on condition to a first power-on condition, when the power supply is set to the off state because the first power off condition is satisfied; and sets the power-on condition to a second power-on condition that is different from the first power-on condition, when the power supply is set to the off state because the second power off condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8783883
    Abstract: In a vehicle door mirror including a motor and an adjuster assembly driven by the motor for moving a mirror glass connected with the adjuster assembly, a method for controlling delivery of power to the motor is described. The method can include detecting a voltage being supplied by a vehicle battery of the vehicle that includes the vehicle door mirror, and controlling delivery of power to the motor based on the detected voltage. A memory mirror system is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20110140839
    Abstract: A method for disabling a passive entry key includes receiving a search request into an electronic control unit (“ECU”) on a vehicle to search for a passive key inside a vehicle cabin; emitting a search signal via an antenna in communication with the ECU in response to the received search request; receiving a reply signal via the antenna from the passive key inside the vehicle cabin; and recording in a memory in communication with the ECU an identification of the passive key inside the vehicle cabin in response to the received reply signal. In this method for disabling a passive entry key, the search request can be initiated by an operator at an input device. A passive entry key system is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7474947
    Abstract: A vehicle customizing system is highly reliable in the event of communication failures. For setting control characteristic values pertaining to functions of control units to control characteristic values favored by the user, the functions and the present control characteristic values set for the functions are displayed on a display unit. The control characteristic values, which are changed using the display unit, are stored in first function information tables of the control units, which directly perform the functions. Even in the event of a communication failure, the control units are capable, on their own, of controlled objects in order to perform the functions thereof based on the control characteristic values stored in the first function information tables.

  • Patent number: 6820911
    Abstract: A memory switch of a rear seat position changing device is provided at a rear side door inside a passenger compartment. The memory switch has a reproduction switch and a return switch. The reproduction switch and the return switch are simultaneously operated to previously store information of a desired position mode detected with a plurality of sensors as reproduction position mode information in a rear seat control unit. To change first and second rear seats from a current position mode to the reproduction position mode, the reproduction switch is turned on for change into the reproduction position mode.
