Vehicle having a gearshift element arranged on the steering wheel
A vehicle has a transmission and a gearshift element pivotally arranged on a steering wheel of the vehicle. By actuating the gearshift element, the transmission is shiftable in an electrically controlled manner from one transmission gear to a next-higher or a next-lower transmission gear. At least one electric switch element and/or at least one optical display device is arranged on the gearshift element.
Switch device
A switch device includes a knob member rotatably fitted to and supported by a middle serving as a fixing portion, and a rotor member integrally mounted to the knob member and rotatably supported by the middle. A rotation regulating portion that regulates a rotatable range of the knob member with respect to the middle and rotation sliding surfaces in a rotational axis direction of the middle and the knob member are collectively formed.
VEHICLE OPERATION SYSTEM
A contact operating region in an input device disposed on a vehicle front side than a steering wheel and at a position which is operable by an operator without releasing his hand from the steering wheel has at least one reference operation surface, and a three-dimensional operation surface. A virtual input section graphic and a plurality of selection icons are displayed on a display region of a display device, the virtual input section graphic having a virtual reference operation surface and a virtual three-dimensional operation surface, the plurality of selection icons being related to the operation of a vehicle onboard device disposed to be spaced apart from each other. A controller moves the virtual input section graphic and the selection icons in the direction in which the virtual reference operation surface and the virtual three-dimensional operation surface are alternately connected.
ROTARY INPUT DEVICE
A connection state (conduction/non-conduction) between a slide electrode and a first electrode pattern is switched with a first rotation angle as a boundary, and the switching of the connection state is generated by switching a contact state (contact/non-contact) between a first contact and a first electrode pattern. A connection state between a slide electrode and a second electrode pattern is switched with a third rotation angle as a boundary, and the switching of the connection state is generated by switching a contact state between a first contact and a second electrode pattern. That is, the contact state between the first contact farther away from a rotation center than the second contact and the electrode pattern defines a connection state between the slide electrode and an electrode pattern.
SWITCH DEVICE
A fog lamp knob (12) and a fog lamp rotor (16) are mounted from one direction along an axis center line (CL). When the fog lamp knob (12) and the fog lamp rotor (16) are mounted, a drive pin (24) on a fog lamp mobile member (22) is disposed between the fog lamp knob (12) cam surface (15) and the fog lamp rotor (16) cam surface (20).
Vehicle headlight control system
A vehicle headlight control system, includes: an operation section configured to adopt a first position and a second position by being rotated with respect to a lever body; a biasing section that returns the operation section to the first position; and a processor coupled to a memory, the processor configured to enable control of vehicle sidelights and low-beam headlights; a first display portion that indicates a relative position of the operation section with respect to the lever body; and a second display portion that is adjacent to the first display portion in a case in which the operation section is at the first position, and that indicates either being in an automatic illumination state in which the illumination state of the vehicle sidelights and the low-beam headlights is switchable automatically or being in a vehicle sidelight illumination state in which the vehicle sidelights are illuminated.
