Abstract
A control panel unit has a control lever operable by a driver seated at a driver's seat of a utility vehicle. The panel unit includes a base panel which covers the control lever except for its control grip area and a guide slot defined in the base panel along an operational displacement of the control lever. The panel unit further includes an inclined panel portion inclined by a predetermined angle relative to the base panel so as to orient its surface toward the driver and extending adjacent and along the length of the guide slot. A display face is formed in the surface of the inclined panel portion and configured for displaying operational positions of the lever.
