This opens up new possibilities for interior heating and creates a coherent and cosy passenger experience, as several human senses can be addressed simultaneously. The advantage of the CoFi is its modularity: In addition to heating, there is also the option of integrating further features, like light animations with the CoFi LEAF or luminance-upgrades with the High Power RGB Modules. The system also can be adapted flexibly to any given interior design, form, and surface. Beside all these functionalities and features, the CoFi technology is ultra-lightweight and light efficient at the same time, making it ideally equipped for the mobility of the future. #FORVIAHELLA #FORVIA #ThermalCocoon #CoFi

🛡️ The 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 is a crucial component for protecting your vehicle’s engine. It can help to 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 from working unnoticed with too little oil, which can lead to expensive engine damage and can also detect overfilling. If the oil reaches too low a level or a critical temperature, an appropriate warning signal can be transmitted to the driver in order to initiate prompt actions. 🔍 How Does the Level Sensor work? The sensor utilizes an ultrasonic measuring principle. An ultrasonic transmitter sends waves to the oil surface, which are then reflected onto a multichip module. Using an integrated algorithm, the module calculates the oil level. Additionally, a temperature sensor measures the oil temperature. 🌡️ The level sensor can perform measurements both when the engine is off (static) and while driving (dynamic).
