Abstract: A vehicle-mounted control apparatus comprises a controller configured to control the drive power source of the vehicle on the basis of the control signal, wherein the controller puts the drive power source into a startable state or an unstartable state in accordance with the control signal, monitors the control signal, and when a transmission source of the control signal is determined to have malfunctioned, puts the drive power source into the startable state regardless of the control signal.

Abstract: An exhaust muffler includes a first muffler section connected to an exhaust pipe and a second muffler section connected to the first muffler section. Exhaust gases delivered from the exhaust pipe are discharged from the first muffler section and the second muffler section out of the exhaust muffler. The first muffler section includes a tubular member made up of an inner pipe to which the exhaust pipe is connected and an outer pipe covering the inner pipe, and a connector connecting the tubular member and the second muffler section to each other. The first muffler section has a first expansion chamber defined therein between the inner pipe and the outer pipe. The inner pipe houses therein a valve for changing an amount of exhaust gases passing through the inner pipe. The first muffler section includes a curved portion that is curved vertically as viewed in side elevation of the vehicle.
