A mobile device to be in cooperation with a vehicle selects and performs one of cooperative functions, acquires upward, downward, leftward, and rightward instructions from the vehicle, generates a sound output toward a driver, and acquires a voice input from the driver. The plurality of cooperative functions are classified into a menu hierarchy, a target selection hierarchy, and an active hierarchy. The mobile device transitions from the menu hierarchy to the target selection hierarchy and from the target selection hierarchy to the active hierarchy in the cooperative functions, based on an instruction in one specific direction of the upward, downward, leftward, and rightward instructions, and transitions to a voice search in the target selection hierarchy, based on an instruction in the specific direction.

Vehicle, mobile device, and control method therefor

An accelerator position detection device includes a handlebar grip that is turnable in a normal rotation direction and in a reverse rotation direction from a neutral position and is energized to the neutral position when no operation is applied; accelerator position sensors that output voltage according to an angle of the handlebar grip and that include a first sensor and a second sensor; and a detector that detects an angle for control for controlling a vehicle on the basis of the angle of the handlebar grip according to output from the accelerator position sensors. The detector detects an angle as a positive value on the basis of a first voltage when the first voltage in a rising range is output, and the detector detects an angle as a negative value on the basis of a second voltage when a first initial value not located in the rising range is output.

Accelerator position detection device with improved abnormal detection

A handlebar switch device for a saddled vehicle is provided in which a handlebar switch case and a handlebar grip that is disposed on an outside in a vehicle width direction of the handlebar switch case are mounted on a handlebar forming part of a steering handle. A sub switch case is supported on a stay that is selected from a plurality of kinds of stays that can be mounted on the handlebar at a fixed relative position with respect to the handlebar switch case while being adjacent to the handlebar switch case from an inside in the vehicle width direction. This enables a sub switch case to be additionally disposed without impairing the ease of operation of a switch of the handlebar switch case.

Handlebar switch device for saddled vehicle

An operation device of a straddle type vehicle has a controller used to operate at least two or more kinds of functions of equipment mounted on the straddle type vehicle. The controller includes a controller operation portion capable of rotary and other freely moving operations. A rotary shaft of the controller inside the controller operation portion is arranged lower than a lower wall face of a switch box.

Operation device of straddle type vehicle

A wiring structure of a grip heater includes an accelerator grip, a grip pulley, an accelerator position sensor configured to detect an amount of rotation of the grip pulley, and a grip heater, an engaging section that is configured to engage the grip pulley with the accelerator position sensor and transmit the amount of rotation of the grip pulley to the accelerator position sensor is installed at the grip pulley and the accelerator position sensor, a feeder cable is connected to the grip heater, and the feeder cable is wound on an outer circumference of the engaging section.

Wiring structure of grip heater

A handle switch for use on a vehicle includes a plurality of switches for operating electric devices on a vehicle. The handle switch is mounted on a switch case fixed to a handlebar of the motorcycle, wherein the plurality of switches include a composite switch having a plurality of operating directions and other switches having less operating directions than the composite switch. The composite switch is disposed on the switch in a position closer to a center of a vehicle body, and the other switches are disposed in a position between a handle grip fixed to an end of the handlebar and the composite switch. The composite switch has an operating portion is directed rearwardly of the vehicle body. The operating portion of the composite switch includes a four-way switch as a plural-direction operator projects rearwardly of the vehicle body.

Handle switch for vehicle

An operating device of a straddle type vehicle has a controller for selecting a plurality of function menus of components mounted on the straddle type vehicle. Controller supporting portions support the controller, and are disposed in the front direction of a switch box. The controller has a controller operating portion which a rider can operate. The controller operating portion is positioned in the front direction of a grip portion.

Operating device of straddle type vehicle

An operation device of a straddle type vehicle includes a controller used to select multiple function menus of equipment incorporated in the straddle type vehicle. The controller has a rotary selection controller constituting a part of a grip portion, and provided adjacent to a switch box. A rotation detection portion is provided in the switch box, and detects rotation of the selection controller.
