COUPLING DEVICE BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT WHEELS OF VEHICLE

摘要

A coupling device (7) to be provided between left and right wheels (5L, 5R) of a vehicle has an electric motor (9) and a switching mechanism (11) switchable between a starting assistance state in which a torque is transmitted in the same direction of rotation from the electric motor (9) to left and right wheels (5L, 5R), and a cornering assistance state in which a torque for acceleration is transmitted from the electric motor (9) to one of the left and right wheels (5L, 5R). When the switching state of the switching mechanism (11) is for starting assistance control, lamps (I) in the central indicator (25M) of an indicating device (24) are lighted in number corresponding to the electric current value of the electric motor (9). When the switching state is for cornering assistance control, the lamps (I) of the left and right indicators (25L, 25R) corresponding to the outer wheel are lighted in number corresponding to the electric current value.
