Coupling device between left and right wheels of vehicle

Abstract

A coupling device to be provided between left and right wheels of a vehicle has an electric motor and a switching mechanism switchable between a starting assistance state in which a torque is transmitted in the same direction of rotation from the electric motor to left and right wheels, and a cornering assistance state in which a torque for acceleration is transmitted from the electric motor to one of the left and right wheels. When the switching state of the switching mechanism is for starting assistance control, lamps in the central indicator of an indicating device are lighted in a number corresponding to the electric current value of the electric motor. When the switching state is for cornering assistance control, the lamps of the left and right indicators corresponding to the outer wheel are lighted in a number corresponding to the electric current value.
