  • Patent number: 10731717
    Abstract: A power transmission device for a vehicle includes a control unit adapted to automatically control engagement or disengagement of a clutch, and is further equipped with a clutch lever for manually engaging or disengaging the clutch. The power transmission device includes a manual mode in which the clutch is engaged or disengaged by a driver performing an engagement or disengagement operation with the clutch engagement/disengagement operating element and an automatic mode in which the clutch is engaged or disengaged under the control of the control unit without the driver performing the engagement or disengagement operation. The manual mode or the automatic mode is selectable by the driver. In the manual mode, it is further possible to select a plurality of control modes with differing levels of intervention of the automatic control.

  • Patent number: 10504301
    Abstract: A display device also includes an available amount-of-fuel calculator for calculating an available amount of fuel, an average mileage calculator for calculating an average mileage from a consumed amount of fuel and a vehicle's traveled distance, an available travel distance calculator for calculating an available travel distance from the available amount of fuel and the average mileage, and a display unit for displaying the available travel distance. The available amount-of-fuel calculator uses a learned value based on outputs as a corrective value for correcting the output of a second sensor when the calculation of the available amount of fuel switches from being based on the output of the second sensor to being based on the output of a first sensor.
