Driving position adjusting device for automotive vehicle

A driving position adjusting device for an automotive vehicle which adjusts a driving position of a driver in a driver's seat, comprising:

• a driver's body size detecting device operative to detect a body size of the driver;
• a pedal operated by the driver;
• a movable floor which is disposed near said pedal and arranged so as to go up and down;
• a floor adjusting device operative to adjust a going-up-and-down position of said movable floor;
• and
• a control device operative to control said floor adjusting device,
• wherein said control device controls said floor adjusting device with a first adjusting characteristic and a second adjusting characteristic according to the driver's body size detected by said driver's body size detecting device, said first adjusting characteristic being such that the going-up-and-down position of said movable floor adjusted by said floor adjusting device becomes higher as the driver's body size detected becomes small, said second adjusting characteristic being to control said floor adjusting device for the driver having a relatively small body size whose body size detected is smaller than a specified body size, said second adjusting characteristic being such that the going-up-and-down position of said movable floor adjusted by said floor adjusting device does not change substantially according to the driver's body size detected by said driver's body size detecting device,
• wherein there are further provided a pedal adjusting device operative to adjust an arrangement position of said pedal according to the driver's body size detected by said driver's body size detecting device, a seat adjusting device operative to adjust a position of a sitting face of the driver's seat, and a seat position detecting device operative to detect the position of the sitting face of the driver's seat which is adjusted by said seat adjusting device,
• wherein said driver's body size detecting device comprises said seat position detecting device, and
• wherein said seat adjusting device adjusts a longitudinal position, a vertical position and an angle of the sitting face of the seat together such that the driver is located in a mode position corresponding to the driver's body size and the driver in the mode position is rotated around a specified rotational axis extending in a vehicle width direction, whereby driver's eyes can be located substantially at the same position regardless of the body size of the driver, and said floor adjusting device adjusts the going-up-and-down position and an angle of the movable floor, in cooperation with the adjusting of the sitting face by said seat adjusting device.
