To provide a technique capable of adjusting a tilt angle of a ship propulsion machine body with respect to a hull to a tilt angle suitable for a travelling state easily and with high accuracy. A motor adjusting a tilt angle of a ship propulsion machine body with respect to a hull and a control device controlling drive of the motor so as to change the tilt angle in accordance with an output from a hull angle sensor detecting a hull angle as an angle of the hull with respect to the water surface are included.

A vehicle height adjustment device affords better footing by ensuring that a vehicle height is lowered upon vehicle stop. A vehicle height adjustment devicein a vehicle has means (ECU) for predicting a vehicle stopping predicted time, and when a predicted vehicle stopping predicted time is not more than a predefined reference vehicle stopping time, implementing a vehicle height lowering control mode, and enabling a vehicle height lowering operation through switching of a switching valve.

Provided are: an electric motor that applies steering assist force to a steering wheel; a target current determination unitthat calculates a target current to be supplied to the electric motor on the basis of steering torque of the steering wheel; and a correction unitthat, when a rotation speed of the electric motor is less than a predetermined rotation speed, corrects the target current calculated by the target current determination unitto be reduced on the basis of an actual current supplied to the electric motor and a time during which the actual current is supplied. Thereby a technique is provided to suppress a failure of the electric motor due to an excessive current flowing through the electric motor with higher accuracy.
