Abstract
A non-contact operation sensing device for a vehicle includes: a capacitance sensor having one electric wire that is attached to a portion near a location where a metal component is provided in a vehicle body, is folded to have portions arranged in parallel, and forms a wire loop electrode whose capacitance changes according to a non-contact operation with respect to the vehicle body, wherein an interval between the portions of the electric wire arranged in parallel in the wire loop electrode is narrower at a portion close to the metal component than at a portion distant from the metal component.
