There is provided an output control device for a vehicle. The device includes an accelerator operator to receive an output adjustment operation of a drive power of a vehicle; a brake operator to receive a braking operation of a braking device; an accelerator operation amount detection unit for detecting an operation amount of the accelerator operator; a brake operation force estimation unit for estimating an operation force of the brake operator; and an output suppression control unit for suppressing an output of the drive power regardless of a state of the accelerator operator, in the case where for a predetermined time or longer, a state continues in which the operation amount of the accelerator operator is greater than or equal to a predetermined accelerator threshold value, and the operation force estimated by the brake operator is greater than or equal to a predetermined brake threshold value.

Output control device for vehicle

The present invention provides a driving force control unit for a vehicle having an accelerator opening degree detecting unit for detecting accelerator opening degree, a driving condition detecting unit for detecting engine driving condition, a driving force setting unit for setting a driving force indication value according to a plurality of different driving force characteristics based on the accelerator opening degree and the engine driving condition, a selector for selecting a driving force characteristic from the plural of different driving force characteristics by manipulation. The driving force setting unit setting the driving force indication value according to the selected driving force characteristic.

Driving force control unit for vehicle

The present invention provides a vehicle display device which allows a driver to instantaneously grasp driving force information. A meter_ECU displays a driving force display image which displays driving force information of a vehicle on an MID, displays an acceleration-torque line (driving force characteristic line) L corresponding to the currently selected mode M and, at the same time, changes a power level which is indicated in a power display region P set within the acceleration-torque line L interlockingly with an accelerator operation of a driver. Due to such a constitution, the vehicle display device allows the driver to instantaneously grasp the driving force information.

Vehicle display device

The present invention provides a vehicle display device which can display fuel consumption information of a vehicle in a useful and optimum mode for a driver. A meter_EUC calculates an instantaneous fuel consumption of a vehicle based on a mileage and a fuel injection quantity within a set time, calculates an average fuel consumption of the vehicle based on respective cumulative values of the mileage and the fuel injection quantity repeatedly calculated for every set time, and displays the deviation of the instantaneous fuel consumption with respect to the average fuel consumption as fuel consumption information on a fuel consumption meter. The display on the fuel consumption meter is performed by swinging a pointer with respect to a neutral position. When the deviation takes a positive value, the pointer is swung in the pulse direction with a swinging width corresponding to the deviation quantity, while when the deviation takes a negative value, the pointer is swung in the minus direction with a swinging width corresponding to the deviation quantity.

The driving force control unit for a vehicle comprises a plurality of control modes for controlling a driving force, each of control modes having each driving force characteristic, a vehicle driving condition detecting unit for detecting a vehicle driving condition, a selector for selecting one control mode from the control modes, a temporary selector for changing the current mode to other mode, and a driving force indication value setting unit for setting a driving force indication value according to the vehicle driving condition and the driving force characteristic corresponding to the selected mode by the selector or the temporary selector.

Driving force control unit for a vehicle

The driving force control unit comprises a plurality of control modes for controlling a driving force, each of control modes having each driving force characteristic; a vehicle driving condition detecting unit for detecting a vehicle driving condition; a selector for selecting one control mode from the plurality of control modes; a driving force setting unit for setting a driving force indication value according to the driving force characteristic selected by the selector based on the vehicle driving condition; and a shift lever position detector for detecting a shift lever position of a transmission. The control mode includes a reverse control mode having a reverse driving force characteristic suitable for traveling the vehicle in reverse direction. The driving force setting unit changes the control mode to the reverse control mode when the shift lever is detected in a position of a reverse range, and sets the driving force indication value according to the reverse driving force characteristic.

A driving force control device can set driving force characteristics which conform to tastes of drivers using one vehicle thus giving the easy-to-drive feeling to the drivers. An E/GECU possesses three modestoas control modes and selects one mode from these modes based on a manipulation input using a mode selection switch. Further, any one of the mode out of these modestois preset in the E/GECU as a temporary changeover mode, and the E/GECU changes over a mode selected by the mode selection switch and the preset temporary changeover mode alternatively by the temporary changeover switch.

Driving force control device of vehicle

The driving force control unit for vehicle comprises a driving condition detecting unit for detecting the vehicle driving condition, a selector for selecting one of driving modes by manipulation, the driving modes including a first mode having a driving force characteristic suitable for normal driving and a second mode having a suppressed driving force, and driving force setting unit for setting a driving force indication value based on the selected mode and the vehicle driving conditions. The selector being formed by a multiple switch having a push switch which turns to ON state when a pressing force direction manipulation is applied, and other switch which turns to ON state when manipulation other than the pressing force direction is applied, the second mode is selected by the ON manipulation of the push switch.
