A remaining fuel amount warning device for a vehicle, the remaining fuel amount warning device giving a warning that an amount of fuel remaining in a fuel tank is smaller than a predetermined value on the basis of output of a fuel gauge measuring the remaining fuel amount, includes combustion state changing device for changing the combustion state of an engine. When the remaining fuel amount becomes smaller than the predetermined value, the remaining fuel amount warning device performs remaining amount warning control that produces vibration different than during normal operation by changing the combustion state of the engine by the combustion state changing device. A starter switch for starting the engine is made to serve also as a warning acknowledging button for stopping the remaining amount warning control for a predetermined time on the basis of an operation by an occupant.

A seat belt installation structure of a vehicle may include a seat which has a seat cushion and a seat back, and on which occupants can be seated alongside in a vehicle width direction. The seat belt installation structure may also include a three point seat belt device provided with a retractor that can wind a webbing, a through anchor that guides a shoulder belt part and a supporting part that supports a lap belt part. In the three point seat belt device, a through anchor for at least a first seat out of a plurality of seats adjacent to one another in the vehicle width direction may be attached to a headrest for a second seat located next to the first seat or a fixing part that fixes the headrest for the second seat.

A cabin space structure for an all terrain vehicle that enables optimization of the shape of a dashboard in the case where seats are so arranged that three persons can be seated side by side in the vehicle width direction. The cabin space structure includes seats on which three passengers are seated side by side in the vehicle width direction, a step floor on which the passengers seated on the seats place their feet, wheel wells for left and right front wheels, the wheel wells provided to project rearwardly at a left-side portion and a right-side portion of the step floor and the dashboard disposed forwardly of the seats. The dashboard is adapted to restrict forward movement of the passengers seated on the seats. A left-side portion and a right-side portion of the dashboard are disposed on the rear side relative to a vehicle-width-directionally central portion of the dashboard.

Cabin space structure for all terrain vehicle

A hood covers a front part of a vehicle body from above and extends rearwardly and upwardly from a front end of the vehicle body. The hood includes upper surfaces provided at left and right parts of the hood, guide walls protruding upwardly from the upper surfaces, and a lid defining a lateral central part of the hood and contiguous with the upper ends of the guide walls. The guide walls extend continuously from a front end of the hood to a rear end of the hood. An instrument panel includes an upwardly inclined wall extending rearwardly from the rear end of the hood. The inclined wall slants at an angle larger than an angle at which the hood slants. The inclined wall of the instrument panel has an upper end located higher than an upper end of the hood.

Hood structure for uneven terrain traveling vehicle

A rough-terrain traveling vehicle equipped with a front seat roll bar and a rear seat roll bar is adapted to allow use of only the front seat roll bar. The front seat roll bar includes a top middle cross pipe extending left and right in the vehicle width direction, and left and right middle side pipes extending to the top middle cross pipe. Left and right gussets are provided at left and right assembly points where the left and right middle side pipes and the top middle cross pipe each are connected. When attachment screws are inserted into the left and right gussets, the rear seat roll bar is joined to the front seat roll bar.

Rough-terrain traveling vehicle

An all-terrain vehicle includes a seat extending in a vehicle width direction and capable of accommodating a driver and at least one passenger, and a door provided on a lateral side of a vehicle body and openable and closable for allowing the driver and the passenger to enter and exit the vehicle. The door is open at an upper part thereof so that in a side view of the vehicle, a face of the driver or passenger is visible from the outside. A top edge of the door has a first region overlapping the driver or the passenger and a second region other than the first region. The top edge is higher at the first region than at the second region.
