    摘要: Systems and methods for managing keys that operate a given vehicle include a processor. Responsive to identifying a received first key for operating the vehicle as having an administrative status, the processor is configured to enable creation of a second key for operating the vehicle having the administrative status, and enable creation of a third key for operating the vehicle having a secondary status and a passcode. Responsive to receiving and identifying the third key as having the secondary status, the processor is configured to enable alteration of the passcode.

    摘要: An electronic control unit may include input channels configured to receive signals indicative of a power to a steering system and signals indicative of an operating mode of the vehicle, and output channels configured to provide a command to redistribute current from an electrical load to the steering system. The electronic control unit may further include control logic configured to, in response to the power falling below a threshold value and the operating mode being of a pre-defined type, generate the command to increase the power to the steering system to meet the threshold value.

    摘要: Side loads on an Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) can prevent the ESCL from releasing upon command. An Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) system is used to reduce or eliminate any side load on the ESCL to mitigate this problem. The EPAS system is activated in response to driver authentication before the driver requests a transition to a ready-to-drive state. The ready-to-drive state is entered only if the ESCL is unlocked. If a predetermined time elapses between driver authentication and the request to enter ready-to-drive state, the EPAS is deactivated and the ESCL is commanded to re-lock.

    摘要: A vehicle system includes a signal generator programmed to output an occupant signal. A processing device is programmed to identify a location of at least one occupant based at least in part on whether a user input provided to a touch-sensitive display device includes the occupant signal. A method includes generating an occupant signal, transmitting the occupant signal through a vehicle occupant, receiving a user input, determining whether the user input includes the occupant signal, and identifying a location of the vehicle occupant based at least in part on whether the user input includes the occupant signal.

    摘要: An electronic control unit used in, e.g., a towing vehicle includes a processing device configured to determine an initial electrical load of a trailer system, detect changes in the electrical load, and generate an alarm signal if the electrical load is substantially different from the initial electrical load. A method includes determining an electrical load of a trailer system prior to arming a vehicle alarm system, detecting changes in the electrical load after arming the vehicle alarm system, and triggering the alarm system if the electrical load is substantially different from the electrical load determined prior to arming the vehicle alarm system.
