Shift device for vehicle

摘要

In a shift device of the present invention, a shift range is switched to a drive range or a reverse range when a switch portion is operated additionally to moving of an operational member. Switching to a drive range is executed when the switch portion is operated further in a state in which the mount of move of the operational member tilted in a first direction from a home position exceeds a first threshold, and switching to a reverse range is executed when the switch portion is operated further in a state in which the mount of move of the operational member tilted in a second direction from the home position exceeds a second threshold which is greater than the first threshold. Accordingly, quick and easy selection of a traveling range can be conducted, ensuring the safety.

主权项

1. A shift device for a vehicle, comprising:
an operational member; a switch portion provided at the operational member; a body portion supporting the operational member such that the operational member is moved at least in two directions of a first direction and a second direction and automatically returned to a specified home position after the operational member has been moved; and a controller detecting operations of the operational member and the switch portion and controlling a shift range based on information of the detected operations, wherein said controller is configured such that a neutral range is selected when said operational member is operationally moved in any direction of the first and second directions from the home position in a state in which a non-travelling range is selected as the shift range, and the shift range is switched to a drive range for forward traveling or a reverse range for backward traveling when said switch portion is operated in addition to the operation of the operational member, said switching to the drive range is executed when the switch portion is operated in a state in which the amount of move of the operational member operationally moved in the first direction from the home position exceeds a first threshold, and said switching to the reverse range is executed when the switch portion is operated in a state in which the amount of move of the operational member operationally moved in the second direction from the home position exceeds a second threshold, said second threshold for switching to the reverse range being set to be greater than said first threshold for switching to the drive range such that an amount of move of the operational member which is necessary for switching to the reverse range is larger than that of move of the operational member which is necessary for switching to the drive range.
