A display devicedisplays information of variables that reflect a state of a vehicle. The display deviceincludes: a first display regionthat displays a scale of a first variable; a second display regionthat is provided to be aligned with the first display regionand displays a scale of a second variable; a first pointing portionthat points, in the first display region, the first variable in accordance with the state of the vehicle; a first strip-shaped imagethat is displayed between a pointed position of the first pointing portionand a start point Sof the first display region; a second pointing portionthat points, in the second display region, the second variable in accordance with the state of the vehicle; and a second strip-shaped imagethat is displayed between a pointed position of the second pointing portionand a start point Sof the second display region.

Display device

A display device () that displays information of a plurality of variables that reflect a state of a vehicle, the display device () including: a first meter image () including a first scale displaying () part that displays a scale of a first variable included in the plurality of variables and an indicating part () that indicates the first variable that varies with the state of the vehicle and rotating the first scale displaying part () in accordance with variation of the first variable, fixing the position of the indicating part (); and a second meter image () including a second scale displaying part () that displays a scale of a second variable included in the plurality of variables and a displaying part () that displays the second variable that varies with the state of the vehicle, wherein the first meter image () and the second meter image () are adjacent to each other.

A display device for displaying at least one of outputs related to traveling of a hybrid vehicle includes a first area that indicates a first output in a first mode and indicates a second output in a second mode, a second area provided side by side with the first area and that indicates a third output in the second mode, and a third area provided in a position adjacent to the second area, and that indicates a range of the first output where a possibility that the internal combustion engine starts is high. The first area has a first display portion that changes according to the first output in the first mode and the second output in the second mode. The second area has a second display portion that changes according to the third output in the second mode.

Display device for hybrid vehicle

A display device, for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, includes a first region and a second region. The first region indicates the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor. The second region indicates the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel. The first region includes a third region positioned close to the second region and indicating the output at which the internal combustion engine possibly starts up.

A display device, for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, includes a first region and a second region. The first region indicates the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor. The second region indicates the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel. The first region and the second region are independently disposed in a predetermined range. Numerals for scale are marked in either one of the first region and the second region.

A display device for an electric vehicle includes a calculation unit which calculates a power consumption rate of the electric vehicle, and a display unit which displays the power consumption rate calculated by the calculation unit, and a possible travel range achievable at the power consumption rate. The display unit includes a power consumption rate scale indicating scales of the power consumption rate, a possible travel range scale indicating scales of the possible travel range and disposed corresponding to the power consumption rate scale, and a line portion displayed between the power consumption rate scale and the possible travel range scale. An end portion of the line portion closer to the power consumption rate scale indicates the power consumption rate, and an end portion of the line portion closer to the possible travel range scale indicates the possible travel range.

Display device for electric vehicle

A display device, for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, includes a first region, a second region and a third region. The first region indicates the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor. The second region indicates the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel. The third region is provided between the first region and the second region and has a display type different from that of the first region and the second region.

A contactor failure determining method in includes outputting a control signal for switching a positive-side contactor provided between a positive electrode of a multi-cell battery and a positive electrode of a load to which the multi-cell battery supplies electric power to an open state from a state in which a control signal for controlling the positive-side contactor and a negative-side contactor provided between a negative electrode of the multi-cell battery and a negative electrode of the load to a closed state and a precharge contactor provided between the multi-cell battery and the load to an open state is output, and as a first fixing determining step, determining a presence of fixing of the precharge contactor based on a degree of voltage drop of a voltage applied to the load after the control signal for switching the positive-side contactor to the open state is output.

Contactor failure determining method and contactor failure determining device

A shift control apparatus includes a charging state detecting unit that detects a charging state, a shift lever that is held at a predetermined reference position, a limiting member that validates an operation of the shift lever located at the reference position when the limiting member is operated and a controller that validates a shift operation of the shift lever from the reference position to a predetermined operation position when the charging state of a vehicle is not detected and an operating amount of the limiting member is equal to or larger than a first changing condition amount and validates the operation of the shift lever from the reference position to the predetermined operation position when the charging state of the vehicle is detected and the operating amount of the limiting member is equal to or larger than a second changing condition amount.
