Abstract
An indication apparatus which detects a plurality of abnormal conditions occurring in a motor vehicle particularly in an automobile, and indicates an indicium corresponding to one of the abnormal conditions. When at least one of a plurality of sensors detects the occurrence of the plurality of abnormal conditions, a motor control circuit drives a motor whereby an indication drum coupled with the motor is also rotated so as to be stopped at a location for indicating the indicium corresponding to the detected abnormal condition. In order to investigate whether abnormal conditions other than the detected one have occurred or not, a switch for forcibly rotating the indication drum can be manually actuated so that the indication drum is further rotated so as to be stopped at a location for indicating another indicium corresponding to one of the other abnormal conditions and thus the other abnormal conditions are indicated successively.
