Abstract
To simplify the switching between an automatic shift mode and a manual shift mode in a CVT. A selector switch is included in a switch unit provided on a handle bar at a position near a right grip and a shift switch is included in a switch unit provided on the handle bar at a position near a left grip. When the manual shift mode is selected, the shift switch functions as a shift control switch, whereas when the automatic shift mode is selected by the selector switch, mode selection for selecting any one of a first drive mode and a second drive mode, for example, can be made by the shift switch.
