Abstract: In a vehicle control system, when an occupant visually recognizes a signboard and signboard course information is included in signboard information corresponding to the signboard, the signboard information is displayed on a display device. When the signboard course information out of the signboard information is visually recognized continuously, a control device generates course information based on the signboard course information. The generated course information is output to a vehicle control ECU, and course change processing based on the course information is performed by the vehicle control ECU.

Abstract: A seal device prevents sealing fluid on the inner-machine side from leaking to the outer-machine side between a housing and a rotating shaft inserted into a shaft hole on the housing. The seal lip is attached to the inner periphery of the shaft hole to slidingly contact the seal flange attached to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. The thread groove, which exerts a fluid pumping action when the shaft is rotating, is provided on the seal flange so as to intersect with a lip end of the seal lip. The thread groove is formed so as to have a relatively small cross-sectional area in a sliding area in the seal flange that the seal lip comes in sliding contact with and have a relatively large cross-sectional area in an inner peripheral side area located on an inner peripheral side more than the sliding area.
