A front windshield includes a frame portion extending along the circumferential edge, the frame portion includes a lower edge portion extending along the lower edge of the front windshield, and a recess depressed downward from the inner edge of the lower edge portion, and at least a part of a perception mark, which allows the driver of the vehicle to perceive a position based on the vehicle, is provided inside the recess.

Front windshield

There is provided a vehicle having a simple and inexpensive structure that assists the driving sense. A front window shieldof a vehicleis provided with a pair of marksandsubstantially horizontally aligned. The marksandare formed at the same height at the left and right sides of the front window shield. A driver perceives a virtual line L by the marksandon the front window shield, and trackings the line of sight Ware induced to move such as to gather between the bottom end line (herein, a line of an instrument panel) and a virtual line L.

Front window shield for vehicle

A member disengagement apparatus comprises fastening release parts for disengaging fastened members fastened by fastening parts, a release operation unit for releasing the fastening release parts, an operation-inhibiting unit for inhibiting a release operation of the release operation unit, and a control unit for controlling the operation-inhibiting unit. The control unit controls the operation-inhibiting unit so that the release operation is no longer inhibited when specific emergency signals are received.

Member disengagement apparatus

A fastening device includes a fastening member that fixedly fastens fastened members, and a driving member that is capable of releasing a fastening state of the fastening member by applying a driving force to a moving portion provided in the fastening member to drive it, wherein the driving member is formed of a shape memory alloy, and the driving force is a restoring force of the shape memory alloy to its memory shape.

Fastening device

To readily remove on-vehicle components from a vehicle body, suitably reflecting the state of the vehicle or occupant in addition to the will of the operator. The safety confirmation devicedetermines whether or not to permit actuation of the separation actuator, that is, whether to set the switchto the ON state to allow an electrical connection from the power supplyto the separation actuator, based on the signals input from the external input receiving portion, the occupant protection device, the status quantity sensor, and the input portion, and outputs a gate signal corresponding to this determination result to the switch. Electrification of the separation actuatorfrom the power supplyvia the switchreleases the fixation of an on-vehicle component by disassembling the fixation member that fixes the on-vehicle component to the vehicle body.
