A vehicle that can secure both stable communication by an ECU including a communication unit that unlocks a handlebar lock module and theft prevention. The vehicle includes a steering shaft, a vehicle body frame including a head pipe that turnably supports the steering shaft and a seat rail that is disposed below a seat on which a rider is seated to fix the seat, and a communication unit for communicating with a smart key (a device external to the vehicle). The communication unit is provided below and on the outer side in a vehicle width direction of the seat rail and in a space covered by and on the inner side of a side cover (vehicle body cover) that protects a vehicle body part.

A rotary knob that rotates in a pushed state includes an extending portion extending in a rotation direction of the rotary knob, and the extending portion includes a cutout portion cut out so as to prevent a first switch that detects that the rotary knob is pushed in from being pressed in a case where the rotary knob is in an intermediate range in which the rotary knob is in a pushed state.

Vehicle operation device

A control unit (A) includes an operation state determination unit () that determines an operating state of a driving source () and a communication state determination unit () that determines a communication state between an authentication unit () and a remote key (), and the control unit (A) disables a starting of the driving source () by a driving source starting unit () when the control unit (A) is in an ON state, the operation state determination unit () determines that the driving source () is in a non-operating state, and the communication state determination unit () determines that communication with the remote key () is lost.

Vehicle control system

An ignition coil control device includes: an energization control unit that controls to energize an ignition coil by first energization control and second energization control shorter in energization time than the first energization control; a cruise area determination unit that determines that a driving area of a vehicle is located in a cruise area on the basis of a throttle opening and an engine speed; and an integration counter that is incremented every predetermined time when the first energization control is being executed in the cruise area and is decremented every predetermined time in other cases. When a counter value of the integration counter reaches an upper limit value, a cooling process of switching from the first energization control to the second energization control is executed. Such ignition coil control device can appropriately switch energization time while preventing excessive heating of an ignition coil without using a current sensor.

Ignition coil control device

An injection valve injects a given amount of fuel into an engine in response to an injection pulse. An ECU inputs the injection pulse corresponding to an amount of injected fuel. The ECU inputs information on an amount of injected fuel corresponding to the number of injection pulses to a display controlling portion through a communication line. The ECU produces the information on the amount of injected fuel composed of digital data whenever a given number of injection pulses corresponds to the given amount of fuel. The display controlling portion decides that the given amount of fuel is injected from the injection valve when a predetermined number of pieces of digital data are properly received. The display controlling portion calculates an instantaneous fuel consumption based on an amount of injected fuel thus decided and an operating distance to cause a meter to display information on the instantaneous fuel consumption.

One object of the invention is to provide a plug cap that more reliably prevents the leakage of current by suppressing the ingress of water from a gap between a terminal body and a rubber member. A plug capincludes an electrical connection portionthat electrically connects a spark plug to a plug cord, a terminal bodythat is provided on the outer periphery of the electrical connection portion, and a cylindrical rubber memberwhich is mounted on at least one of one end portion and the other end portion of the terminal bodyand into which the spark plug or the like is inserted. The terminal bodyincludes a one end-side insertion portionwhich is formed at one end of the terminal body and into which the spark plug is inserted and the other end-side insertion portionwhich is formed at the other end of the terminal body and into which the plug cord is inserted. The rubber memberincludes an inner cylindrical portionthat is inserted into the one end-side insertion portionor the other end-side insertion portion, and a cylindrical outer cylindrical portionthat is positioned close to the outer periphery of the inner cylindrical portion. The inner cylindrical portionincludes annular protrusionsthat come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the terminal body

An indicator-integrated rearview mirror for a vehicle in which the number of components are reduced to simplify and lighten the structure thereof. A housing of a rearview mirror is divided into two of a front housing and a rear housing which are made of resin, an indicator system is supported by the front housing, and a mirror part is supported by the rear housing. Both housings are attached to each other by engagement of locking pawls with locking holes. A spherical-shaped engaging part supports the mirror part while the angle thereof can be adjusted. The rear housing is configured by integrally forming an accommodation part for the mirror part and an attachment stay part attached to the vehicle body-side, and the front housing is configured by integrally forming an accommodation part for the indicator system and a cover for covering the attachment stay part.

Electrical units are effectively cooled, even if the longitudinal length of the cover member in which the electrical units to be cooled are accommodated is short, by easily guiding a flow of air during operation toward the electrical units. A second cover member which constitutes at least a part of a body cover together with a first cover member is positioned ahead of the first cover member which accommodates an electrical unit to be cooled. Inlets which let a flow of air during operation into the second cover member are disposed in the second cover member. An outlet for discharging a flow of air during operation out of the first cover member is provided in the first cover member.

The lighting system having a plurality of winker lamps disposed on front and rear portions of a vehicle body, a winker switch, and a lighting control circuit which performs changeover function allowing the winker lamps at a front portion of the vehicle body to lit as position lamps. The lighting control circuit is connected to a battery through an ignition switch. The lighting system further includes a power supply circuit which supplies, in an ignition off state, power to the lighting control circuit in response to an output signal from an antitheft apparatus to cause the winker lamps to light up or flicker. The output terminal of the antitheft device is connected to an electrical connection formed between the winker switch and the left and right rear lamps.

A headlamp unit is provided to emphasize a shape of an individual lamp while suppressing an increase in the number of parts used, while improving ventilation and preventing fogging in areas near an inner surface of a lens, while maintaining a simple housing structure. The headlamp unit including a high beam lamp and a low beam lamp arranged vertically. The high beam lamp and the low beam lamp are disposed on upper and lower portions, respectively. The headlamp unit including an area between the high beam lamp and the low beam lamp covered with a lamp to lamp transverse portion of a front cowl, and an area near each of lenses including an air vent hole disposed so as to face a space between the two lenses. The headlamp unit may further include a moisture conditioning member disposed on an inside of the lamp housing.
