Abstract: A system for heating a window, the system comprises: a window movably disposed within a housing, the window comprising a first window heating zone and a second window heating zone; a heating device for heating at least one of the first window heating zone and the second window heating zone; and an actuator configured to determine which of the first and second window heating zones to heat depending on at least one of: the position of the window within the housing; and the height of an eye line of a user of the system.

Abstract: An electrical system for a motor vehicle is provided. The electrical system includes one or more vehicle batteries configured to provide electric power to one or more vehicle systems. The electrical system also includes a terminal configured to allow a third-party loads and/or a third-party batteries to be electrically coupled to the electrical system at the terminal. The electrical system further includes a relay configured to selectively couple the terminal to the vehicle batteries. A controller is configured to control the operation of the relay. A method of controlling operation of an electrical system for a motor vehicle is also provided.
