A multifunctional safety warning device for a vehicle includes a mediate light bar zone having a first side and a second side; a left indicating light mounted on the first side of the mediate light bar zone and being adapted to light independently; and a right indicating light mounted on the second side of the mediate light bar zone and being adapted to light independently. In such a manner, the mediate light bar zone, the left indicating light, and the right indicating light are connected to and controlled by a control unit, whereby, the control unit is used to alternatively operate the mediate light bar zone, the left indicating light, and the right indicating light of the safety warning device, and to operate a set of breakdown light of the vehicle so that at least one set of light is used indicate a steering direction of the vehicle.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multifunctional safety warning device, and more particularly to a multifunctional safety warning device for a vehicle such as an automobile, motorcycle, bicycle and the like.
2. Description of the Related Art
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a multifunctional safety warning device in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an operational view of the safety warning device as shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an operational view of the safety warning device as shown in FIG. 1;
Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-3, a multifunctional safety warning device for a vehicle in accordance with the present invention comprises a red mediate light bar zone 10 having a first side and a second side, a yellow left indicating light 30 mounted on the first side of the mediate light bar zone 10 and being adapted to light independently, and a yellow right indicating light 20 mounted on the second side of the mediate light bar zone 10 and being adapted to light independently.
In practice, each of the mediate light bar zone 10, the left indicating light 30, and the right indicating light 20 is a light permeable housing in which a light source such as an L.E.D. or bulb or back light (BL) is mounted. In such a manner, the outstanding mediate light bar zone 10 can be used to efficiently separate the left indicating light 30 from the right indicating light 20.
The mediate light bar zone 10, the left indicating light 30, and the right indicating light 20 are connected to and controlled by a control unit 16 (see FIG. 7). The control unit 16 can be adapted to be a central processing unit C.P.U., or an equivalent control circuit, and the control unit 16 is connected to a light control system of the vehicle.
