PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to inform surrounding people of the presence or behavior of the own vehicle as an emergency measure when a malfunction in a lighting device is detected during driving.SOLUTION: When a predetermined operation corresponding to each of lighting devices for informing surrounding people of the presence or behavior of the own vehicle, the operated lighting device is lit on in a manner set for the lighting device. Additionally, malfunctions in the lighting devices are detected. If a predetermined operation is performed for a lighting device in which malfunction has been detected, an alternative lighting device for the malfunctioning lighting device is lit on in the manner set for the lighting device malfunctioning. Thus, a malfunctioning lighting device among the lighting devices can be replaced by another lighting device. Accordingly, the presence or behavior of a vehicle, to be informed by an intended lighting device, can be informed using another lighting device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
【課題】運転中に灯火器の故障を検知した場合に、応急的な処置として、自車両の存在や挙動を周囲に示すことを可能にする。【解決手段】自車両の存在や挙動を周囲に報知するための複数の灯火器毎に対応付けられた所定の操作が行われると、操作が行われた灯火器を、その灯火器に設定された態様で点灯させる。また、複数の灯火器の故障を検知する。そして、故障が検知された故障灯火器に対して所定の操作が行われた場合には、故障灯火器を代替する代替灯火器を、故障灯火器に設定された態様で点灯させる。こうすれば、複数の灯火器のうちで故障した灯火器を他の灯火器で代替させることができる。そのため、本来は故障した灯火器によって報知する車両の存在や挙動を、他の灯火器を利用して周囲に示すことが可能となる。【選択図】図3
