Abstract:
A warning device for a vehicle includes a warning vibration wave generator and a vibration applying device. For each of a plurality of vehicle conditions, the warning vibration wave generator generates a warning vibration wave having a frequency that varies with the vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor, and that differs for each vehicle condition at the same vehicle speed. Based on the warning vibration wave generated by the warning vibration wave generator, the vibration applying device applies a warning vibration corresponding to the warning vibration wave to a steering member.

Claim (Index 1):
A warning device for a vehicle comprising:\n an electric motor that applies steering assisting force to a steering operation mechanism of a vehicle; a vehicle speed detector that detects a vehicle speed; a torque detector that detects a steering torque; a basic assist current value setting unit that sets a basic assist current value based on the steering torque detected by the torque detector; a vibration wave generator that generates, for each of a plurality of vehicle conditions, a warning vibration wave having a frequency that varies with the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detector, the frequency at an identical vehicle speed being different for each vehicle condition; a target current value computing unit that computes a target current value for the electric motor by adding the warning vibration wave generated by the vibration wave generator to the basic assist current value set by the basic assist current value setting unit; and a motor controller that controls the electric motor based on the target current value computed by the target current value computing unit.
