  • Publication number: 20160129899
    Abstract: A display device is provided with which even a driver who does not recognize a hill-start assist function can easily understand an operation condition when the hill-start assist function is operated. The display device includes an indicator mounted in the vehicle and an indicator-controlling unit to control the indicator. When the brake pedal is released in a state that the brake pedal is stepped on while the vehicle is stopped on the uphill road, the indicator-controlling unit displays a state that the hill-start assist function is operated in a character onto the indicator. Also, in the state in which the hill-start assist function is operated, the indicator-controlling unit displays the state in a character onto the indicator.

  • Patent number: 5295842
    Abstract: The electric junction box includes a casing 20-23 and a plurality of busbar conductors 30 accommodated in the casing, each of which consists of an insulating substrate 31 and a plurality of busbars 32 with upright tabs 33 arranged face-to-face on the substrate 31. The busbar conductors 30 are accommodated in at least two blocks A1 and A2 in the casing and wires 40 are provided for electrically connecting desired busbars 32 in different and/or the same block. The above construction allows a circuit-change to be made with ease and unnecessary circuits to be precluded. The overall weight and production costs of busbar conductors and thus the junction box are reduced.
