<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To terminate the direction indicating operation of a direction indicator with exact timing in a vehicle mounted with a steering mechanism having a variable relation between a steering angle and an actual steering angle. <P>SOLUTION: The vehicle includes the steering mechanism, an EPS actuator, and a VGRS actuator, and variably controls the relation between the steering angle MA and the actual steering angleδst by the cooperative control of them. An ECU carries out winker-off control. In the control, when a winker lever is operated, an actual steering corresponding angleδis calculated based on a steering gear ratio n, a wheelbase L, a stability factor KH, a yaw rateγ, and vehicle speed V. When the calculated actual steering corresponding angleδexceeds a preset threshold to a decreasing side, the ECU carries out winker-off processing including returning to a neutral position by the release of the winker lever and the termination of the blinking control of a direction indicating light. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
