Abstract: A multiple-disc friction clutch has a clutch center including a first and second clutch centers. The first clutch center is axially supported by a main shaft in a relatively non-rotatable manner. The second clutch center is supported by the first clutch center in a relatively rotatable manner and holds a clutching part between a pressure plate and the second clutch center. The first and second clutch centers have a torque limiter mechanism and a torque limiter-disabling mechanism therebetween. The torque limiter mechanism transmits power between the first and second clutch centers and reduces clutch torque by acting on the pressure plate due to relative rotation between the first and second clutch centers. The torque limiter-disabling mechanism inhibits operation of a torque limiter of the torque limiter mechanism by preventing the relative rotation when power is transmitted from the first clutch center to the second clutch center in an acceleration direction.

Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus includes a parking lot staying determination section which determines whether or not a vehicle is present in a parking lot having a parking row including parking slots and/or parked vehicles located adjacent to each other, an erroneous operation determination section which determines whether or not an occupant has erroneously stepped on an acceleration operation element, and a control section which executes driving power reduction control upon determination that the vehicle is present in the parking lot and that the occupant has performed the erroneous operation. When the erroneous operation determination section determines that the occupant has performed the erroneous operation again before elapse of a predetermined threshold time after execution of the driving power reduction control, the control section executes the driving power reduction control again, irrespective of the result of the determination by the parking lot staying determination section.
