A terminal is mounted on a mounting surface having a stud bolt standing on the mounting surface. The terminal having: a contact portion configured to contact with the mounting surface; an insertion portion allowing the stud bolt to be inserted to the insertion portion; and an elastic portion connected to the contact portion and extending in a direction to leave the mounting surface. The elastic portion is configured to urge the contact portion elastically toward the mounting surface when he terminal touches a fixture engaged with the stud bolt.

A remaining fuel amount display device including: a fuel gauge; a sensor that detects the remaining fuel amount of the fuel tank; and an electronic control unit that calculates an indication value of the fuel gauge. The electrical control unit calculates the indication value by subtracting a subtraction value from a last indication value when the last indication value is greater than a detected value of the remaining fuel amount. The last indication value is calculated at one time before the indication value. The subtraction value is greater than a latest fuel consumption amount in an interval of the calculation of the indication value and equal to or less than a sum of the fuel consumption amount and a difference between the last indication value and the detected value. The subtraction value becomes larger when a value obtained by comparing the last indication value with the detected value is larger.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved graphic display meter which is prevented from causing inconvenience to the vehicle operator, when a motion blur display mode is switched to a normal display mode. When a motion blur pointer imageis switched to a normal pointer image, multiple pointer imagesincluding the normal pointer imageare displayed adjacent to or in abutment with a leading part of the motion blur pointer imagein a direction where the pointer is rotating. The multiple pointer imagesare consisted of the normal pointer imageand a plurality of auxiliary pointer images, which are aligned with one another and are positioned in close proximity to the normal pointer image. The multiple pointer images, a plurality set of which have been stored as data in advance, are selected on the basis of a space between the motion blur pointer imageprior to the switching of the pointer image and the normal pointer imageafter the switching of the pointer image.
