A periphery recognition support system for an off-road vehicle includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: acquire position data indicating a position of a peripheral object around an off-road vehicle; determine based on the position data whether or not a predetermined warning condition is satisfied; and output a predetermined warning signal when it is determined that the warning condition is satisfied.

A calling system for off-road vehicles includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: obtain location information indicating a location of a first off-road vehicle; obtain a specific state signal indicating that the first off-road vehicle is in a given specific state; and cause a first wireless communicator of the first off-road vehicle to, based on the specific state signal, wirelessly transmit a calling signal containing the location information, wherein the wireless transmission of the calling signal by the first wireless communicator is performed using a wireless communication technology in which the calling signal transmitted from the first wireless communicator is received directly by a second wireless communicator of a second off-road vehicle.

A periphery recognition support system for a personal watercraft includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: receive position related data related to a positional relation between a personal watercraft and a peripheral object around the personal watercraft; determine based on the position related data whether or not a predetermined warning condition is satisfied; and output a predetermined warning signal when it is determined that the warning condition is satisfied.

A power unit includes a prime mover and a belt continuously variable transmission. The belt continuously variable transmission includes a drive pulley, a driven pulley, a belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley, and a housing forming an accommodation space in which the belt is disposed. The belt continuously variable transmission changes a speed of rotation produced by drive power output from the prime mover. The power unit further includes a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the belt or a temperature corresponding to the temperature of the belt.
