  • Patent number: 11909013
    Abstract: A display system includes an instrument panel and an ECU for controlling the instrument panel so that the instrument panel displays an indication related to a battery. The ECU controls the instrument panel so that the instrument panel continuously displays a second indication. The ECU also controls instrument panel so that instrument panel does not display a first indication when a predetermined condition does not hold true, and displays the first indication when the predetermined condition holds true, the predetermined condition being a condition that a display-related user operation has been performed. The first indication can be prevented from being mistaken as the second indication, without requiring a display-related user operation.

  • Publication number: 20220338404
    Abstract: A tractor includes: a work machine connected to a vehicle body; an elevator mechanism configured to move the work machine up and down; an electric motor; a battery; an electric leakage detection circuit configured to detect electric leakage in the battery; and a control device. The control device controls the elevator mechanism either in a lowered state or a raised state, the lowered state being a state where the work machine is placed at a position making contact with a ground, the raised state being a state where the work machine is placed at a position distanced from the ground. In a case where the electric leakage detection circuit detects electric leakage in the battery at the time when the elevator mechanism is in the lowered state, the control device performs a state change process of bringing the elevator mechanism into the raised state.
