Abstract
A manipulation detecting device for a vehicle includes a sensor electrode that is configured to have a capacitance that increases as a detection target approaches the sensor electrode and circuitry that is configured to selectively open and close an opening-closing body of a vehicle by controlling an actuator. A first determination value is used to determine proximity of the detection target to the sensor electrode. The circuitry is configured to selectively open and close the opening-closing body when the opening-closing body is in a stopped state and the capacitance of the sensor electrode is greater than or equal to the first proximity determination value and smaller than a second proximity determination value, which is greater than the first proximity determination value.
