1. An overturn-notification-rider-informing-device applied to a leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-system,
the leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-system being configured to notify of overturn occurrence information indicating that a leaning vehicle changed from a travelling state to an overturned state to outside of the leaning vehicle by radio communication,
the overturn-notification-rider-informing-device being mounted in the leaning vehicle, the leaning vehicle comprising:
a vehicle body that leans left when turning left and leans right when turning right; and
at least one of a front light that illuminates an area in front of the vehicle body when the vehicle body is in an upright state, indicators, a back light, a meter panel, an image display section, a horn or a buzzer;
the overturn-notification-rider-informing-device comprising:
a leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-information-acquisition-section that acquires notification preparation information indicating that the leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-system is preparing to notify of the overturn occurrence information to outside of the leaning vehicle by the radio communication, or notification completed information indicating that the leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-system has notified of the overturn occurrence information to outside of the leaning vehicle by the radio communication; and
an overturn-notification-rider-informing-actuation-section that, based on the notification preparation information or the notification completed information acquired by the leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-information-acquisition-section, causes light to be radiated or sound to be generated in a horizontal direction from the leaning vehicle that is in an overturned state by actuating at least one of the front light, the indicators, the back light, the meter panel, the image display section, the horn or the buzzer in an operating state that is different from an operating state at a time when, or immediately before, the leaning vehicle changes from the travelling state to the overturned state, and thereby informs a rider that the leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-system is preparing to notify of the overturn occurrence information to outside of the leaning vehicle by the radio communication, or that the leaning-vehicle-overturn-notification-system has notified of the overturn occurrence information to outside of the leaning vehicle by the radio communication.
