Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for capacitive proximity sensors of vehicle doors. An example vehicle includes an outer surface layer, sheet metal for providing rigidity, a low dielectric layer, and a capacitive sensor. The capacitive sensor includes a receiving layer positioned between the outer surface layer and the low dielectric layer and the sheet metal that functions as a transmitting layer. The low dielectric layer separates the receiving layer and the sheet metal.

Claim (Index 4):
The vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein a detection range of the capacitive sensor corresponds with a distance between the receiving layer and the sheet metal.
