A method for providing an intervening action for a host vehicle (102). A target (104) is detected in the vicinity of the vehicle it is determined that the host vehicle is travelling on a collision course (106) with the target. When a collision with the target is predicted to occur within a predetermined time period and no driver initiated steering action for avoiding the collision course has been detected, controlling (S106) a steering control system to provide an initial steering torque action to the steerable wheels of the host vehicle for providing an initial steering action towards the same side of the target as a detected safe side (108). A driver initiated steering action is in response to the initial steering torque action is detected. Next, the intervening action is provided for altering the present driving course of the host vehicle for avoiding a collision with the target.

This disclosure relates to a bracket (1) for fixating a housing (2) comprising a camera. The bracket (1) is configured to be mounted to a windscreen of a road vehicle and comprises a base plate (3) adapted to be mounted to the windscreen and a fixation arrangement (4) for securing the housing (2) comprising the camera to the bracket (1). The fixation arrangement (4) comprises a cradle (5) for receiving a locking pin (6) protruding from the housing (2) and further comprises a spring (8) for applying a pressure on the locking pin (6) forcing the locking pin (6) towards a seat (17) of the cradle (5) when the spring (8) has been inserted into at least one slot (12) of the cradle (5) such that the locking pin (6) is inserted located between the spring (8) and the cradle (5). The spring (8) has a shape of an elongated flat plate and the spring (8) comprises a through-hole (10) for securing the spring (8) to the base plate (3). The through-hole is arranged at a longitudinally distal end of the spring (8) and the fixation arrangement (4) comprises a first protrusion (11) connected to said base plate (3), wherein the first protrusion (11) is arranged to engage the through-hole (10) when the spring (8) is inserted into the slot (12) of the cradle (5).

According to the invention there is provided a system (200) and a method for determining a usage limit for an energy storage device (102). The method comprises determining (S301) a travel parameter value or an age since manufacturing of the energy storage device. A first variation or a second variation of an operating parameter of the energy storage device based on historical data relating the operating parameter to the travel parameter is determined (S305, S307) and compared to an actual operating parameter variation. A first or a second operating parameter variation difference (dQ1, dQ2) between the actual variation and the first and second variation of the operating parameter is calculated (S309, S311). Based on the first or the second operating parameter variation difference, a usage limit adjustment is determined (S315) and used to adjust (S317) a previous usage limit.

Embodiments herein relate to an apparatus and method for vehicle (1) occupant (2) protection in large animal (3) collisions. Objects forward of the host vehicle are monitored using at least one forward looking remote sensor (4) and object signals (4a) output. A velocity of the host vehicle (1) is determined and velocity signals (5a) output. The object signals (4a) and the velocity signals (5a) are processed to determine whether the host vehicle (1) unavoidably will suffer a collision with a large animal (3) while travelling at or above a threshold velocity and a collision signal is output (6a). Operation of at least one of a motor operated height adjustment device (7c), inclination adjustment device (7e) and longitudinal position adjustment device (7f) of at least one vehicle seat (7) is triggered to move at least one of a seat cushion (7a) and a backrest (7d) thereof away from a leading edge of a roof (1 a) of the host vehicle (1) in response to the collision signal (6a).

The present invention relates to a knee airbag arrangement (4) for a vehicle (2). The knee airbag arrangement comprises an inflatable airbag (6) and an external tether (7). The airbag is adapted to be inflated to a position between an instrument panel (8) of the vehicle and a knee/shin region (14) of a vehicle occupant (16). The knee airbag is adapted to form a first deployment mode or a second deployment mode when in a deployed state. The external tether controls deployment of the airbag to the second deployment mode. The depth (D₂) of the airbag in the second deployment mode is greater than a depth (D₁) of the knee airbag in the first deployment mode. A depth of the airbag in a deployed state is a greatest extent of the airbag perpendicular to the instrument panel in the knee/shin region. The present invention also relates to a vehicle comprising the knee airbag arrangement and a method for deploying the airbag of the knee airbag arrangement.

A circuit arrangement for a vehicle charger system, adapted to reduce drain current in a connector proximity detection circuit when a charge connector is inserted in a charge socket and a charge cycle is terminated, wherein the circuit arrangement comprises a resistor and a switch connected in parallel and arranged in the proximity detection circuit, where the switch is adapted to be opened when a charge cycle has started, and where the switch is adapted to remain open when the charge cycle has terminated and the charge connector remains in the charge socket. The advantage of the invention is that the drain current of a charger circuit is reduced.
