Accordingly, it is possible to visually confirm whether or not the driving apparatus can be driven.

A steering apparatus with a fixed pad operated by a driver of a vehicle includes spokes one end of which extend in a tapered manner from a steering shaft and to the other end of which an annular steering operation portion is secured; and a fixed pad accommodated in a tapered space formed by the spokes, wherein an interval between opposing surfaces of the spokes and the fixed pad is set to be substantially uniform, so as to prevent a foreign object from being caught between the opposing surfaces when the steering operation portion is operated.

A switch device for a power driven seat of a vehicle wherein the position of the seat is adjusted by the driving force of a motor. A first control knob three-dimensionally representing the shape of the seat cushion and a second control knob three-dimensionally representing the shape of the seat back are provided. These knobs are capable of moving relative to each other, and the movement of each of the knobs by an occupant is detected by a limit switch. Therefore, when the passenger intends to move each portion of the seat, it is necessary to move the first and the second control knobs in the desired direction of the seat. As a result, the seat is moved.
