Abstract
A traction control display device for a vehicle having traction control for suppressing slipping of a wheel in response to operation of an accelerator by a driver. The traction control display device includes a meter and a traction control system (TCS) indicator. The meter has a needle movable over a dial that indicates an engine rotational speed. The TCS indicator indicates that the traction control is in an activated state. The TCS indicator is disposed in a region of parts of high engine rotational speeds within a movable range of the needle within the meter.
Claims15
A traction control display device for a vehicle, the vehicle having traction control for suppressing slipping of a wheel in response to operation of an accelerator by a driver, the traction control display device comprising:
- a meter having a needle movable over a dial and indicating an engine rotational speed;
- and
- a TCS indicator indicating that the traction control is in an activated state within the meter;
- wherein the TCS indicator is disposed in a region of parts of high engine rotational speeds within a movable range of the needle within the meter,
- wherein the TCS indicator is disposed in an upper part within the meter, and
- further comprising a TCS off indicator indicating that the traction control is off,
- wherein the TCS off indicator is disposed in the upper part within the meter,
- wherein the TCS indicator and the TCS off indicator are in proximity to each other in a same color type, and indicators of a color type different from the color type of the TCS indicator and the TCS off indicator are disposed as indicators on a left and a right of the TCS indicator and the TCS off indicator.
A traction control display device for a vehicle, the vehicle having traction control for suppressing slipping of a wheel in response to operation of an accelerator by a driver, the traction control display device comprising:
- a meter having a needle movable over a dial and indicating an engine rotational speed;
- and
- a TCS indicator indicating that the traction control is in an activated state within the meter;
- wherein the TCS indicator is disposed in a region of parts of high engine rotational speeds within a movable range of the needle within the meter,
- further comprising an idle stop enabling indicator indicating that idle stop control is enabled and an idle stop disabling indicator indicating that the idle stop control is disabled,
- wherein the idle stop enabling indicator is disposed in a position higher than a position indicating an idle rotational speed within the movable range of the needle within the meter, and the idle stop disabling indicator is disposed in a position adjacent to the idle stop enabling indicator and disposed in a position close to the idle rotational speed.
