A supercharger-equipped combustion engine includes a crankcase supporting a crankshaft extending in a widthwise direction of a vehicle, and a cylinder block disposed above the crankcase. A supercharger is disposed above the crankcase and rearward of the cylinder block and driven by power of the crankshaft. The power of the crankshaft is transmitted to the supercharger through a counter shaft which rotatably supports a counter gear. The counter shaft extends parallel with the crankshaft, and a starter gear is arranged on the counter shaft so as to be aligned in the widthwise direction. The counter shaft is disposed rearward of the crankshaft, and the supercharger is disposed rearward of the counter shaft. A starter motor meshing with the starter gear is disposed frontward of the supercharger.

One aspect of the invention provides a recoil starter including: a reel support shaft; a rope reel that is rotatably mounted on the reel support shaft; a ratchet member that is swingably mounted on the rope reel; a ratchet guide that is rotatably mounted on the reel support shaft with friction resistance. The ratchet guide includes: a guide portion and a swinging-prevention portion. When the rope reel rotates in an engine starting direction, the guide portion pushes out the ratchet member to an outer diameter direction. When the ratchet member does not contact the guide portion, the swinging-prevention portion prevents the ratchet member from swinging to the outer diameter direction.

A vehicle performs notification about an open/closed state of a lid member covering an interface for supplying driving energy. The vehicle includes a notification portion that performs notification when the lid member is in the open state and a connection detecting portion that detects a connection state of a driving energy supply device to the interface. In the vehicle, the notification portion suspends notification when the driving energy supply device is connected to the interface during the open state of the lid member.

Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are disclosed for deterrence of ignition of a vehicle engine ignition when a fuel nozzle is in a fuel intake area. An example vehicle includes a fuel intake area, a camera, and a processor. The example processor, in response to an ignition switch being in an on-position, is to detect, via the camera, whether a fuel nozzle is in the fuel intake area. The example processor is to deter ignition of a vehicle engine when the fuel nozzle is in the fuel intake area.
