Patent ID: 8812174

Claim:
A control system for a vehicle including an engine and a handlebar provided with a throttle grip at a right end, the control system comprising: a selecting switch having a plurality of driving modes to influence a driving feeling, the selecting switch selecting a desired driving mode from the plurality of driving modes during driving; a forward sequence regulating switch changing a plurality of controlled steps in the driving mode selected by the selecting switch according to a predetermined normal order; and a reverse sequence regulating switch changing the plurality of controlled steps in a reverse order of the predetermined normal order, wherein the selecting switch, the forward sequence regulating switch, and the reverse sequence regulating switch are arranged near a left grip of the handlebar, wherein the selecting of the driving mode, the changing of the plurality of controlled steps in the driving mode according to the predetermined normal order and the changing of the plurality of controlled steps in the reverse order are performed based on signals inputted from the selecting switch, the forward sequence regulating switch, and the reverse sequence regulating switch, wherein the selecting switch performs changing to the driving mode to be regulated according to the predetermined normal order each time a selection signal from the selecting switch is inputted, wherein the forward sequence regulating switch changes a current controlled step in the predetermined normal order each time a forward sequence regulating signal from the forward sequence regulating switch is inputted and, in a state where a forward sequence final step is reached, maintains the forward sequence final step even when the forward sequence regulating signal from the forward sequence regulating switch is inputted, and wherein the reverse sequence regulating switch changes the current controlled step in a reverse order of the predetermined normal order each time a reverse sequence regulating signal from the reverse sequence regulating switch is inputted and, in a state where a reverse sequence final step is reached, maintains the reverse sequence final step even when the reverse sequence regulating signal from the reverse sequence regulating switch is inputted.
