Abstract: A method for monitoring a load compartment (14) in a vehicle (10) uses an optical sensor (21) installed in the load compartment (14), a computer system with software for image processing and a graphical user interface. According to the method, a grid R of the cargo load compartment is stored in the computer system. An image I(t1) captured by the optical sensor (21) at a time t1 is converted in the computer system into a grid image RI which shows the occupancy, non-occupancy or change of occupancy of the load compartment according to the stored grid R. The grid image RI is displayed on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A rear spoiler device for a utility vehicle has: a first roof air-guiding element for attaching to a first rear door and a second roof air-guiding element for attaching to a second rear doo. The two roof air-guiding elements are adjustable between a folded-in basic position and a driving position for the aerodynamic extension of the contour of a roof surface. A manual adjustment device for adjusting the first roof air-guiding element between the basic position and driving position. A coupling device is provided for coupling the pivoting movements of the roof air-guiding elements. The coupling device carries along the second roof air-guiding element during the adjustment of the first roof air-guiding element. The coupling device may be an overlapping element.

Abstract: An air resistance-reducing device (1) for a vehicle (12) includes a first air guide element A (3) and a second air guide element B (4) which can be adjusted between a rest position and a travel position for contour extension and aerodynamic air guidance by an actuator (6). The air resistance-reducing device (1) includes connecting element (7) with a coupling element 8, which connects the actuator (6) to the at least one connecting element (7), a first leg (9), which connects the coupling element (8) to the first air guide element A (3), a second leg (10), which connects the coupling element (8) to the second air guide element B (4), and a third leg (11), which connects the first leg (9) to the second leg (10).

Abstract: A spoiler assembly for a vehicle includes a first air-guiding element adjustable between a basic position and an activated driving position by a first adjustment device (6) and a second air-guiding element adjustable between a basic position and an activated driving position by a second adjustment device (7). In a first partial adjustment during the adjustment from the basic positon into the driving position, the first air-guiding element is adjustable and the second air-guiding element is not adjustable. In a second partial adjustment following the first partial adjustment, the second air-guiding element, preferably the two air-guiding elements, is or are adjustable. second adjustment device (7) is activated via a first position-switching device (15) switchable between an open position for actuating the second adjustment device (7) and a blocking position depending on an adjustment position of the first air-guiding element.

Abstract: A rear spoiler device (8) for a vehicle comprises an air-guiding element (9, 19), which can be moved between a retracted base position and a driving position and has a guiding surface (9d) for aerodynamically extending the contour of an exterior surface (4, 3) of the vehicle in the driving position. The air-guiding element (9) has a contact edge (9c) extending in a lateral direction (y) for contacting the exterior surface (4) of the vehicle (1) in the driving position, wherein the rear spoiler device (8) can be mounted completely on a rear door of the vehicle, the air-guiding element (9, 19) being designed in a multi-layer manner.
