Abstract

A vehicle performs notification about an open/closed state of a lid member covering an interface for supplying driving energy. The vehicle includes a notification portion that performs notification when the lid member is in the open state and a connection detecting portion that detects a connection state of a driving energy supply device to the interface. In the vehicle, the notification portion suspends notification when the driving energy supply device is connected to the interface during the open state of the lid member.

Claims (30)

1. A vehicle that performs notification about an open/closed state of a lid member covering an interface for supplying driving energy, the vehicle comprising:

a notification portion that performs notification when the lid member is in the open state; and

a connection detecting portion that detects a connection state of a driving energy supply device to the interface,

the vehicle further comprising:

a speed detecting portion that detects a running speed of the vehicle,

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the driving energy supply device is connected to the interface during the open state of the lid member, and

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the detected running speed of the vehicle becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined speed during the open state of the lid member.

2. The vehicle that performs notification about an open/closed state of a lid member covering an interface for supplying driving energy, the vehicle comprising:

a notification portion that performs notification when the lid member is in the open state; and

a connection detecting portion that detects a connection state of a driving energy supply device to the interface,

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the driving energy supply device is connected to the interface during the open state of the lid member,

the vehicle further comprising:

a speed detecting portion that detects a running speed of the vehicle,

wherein the notification portion notifies the open state of the lid member with a plurality of notification methods, and

wherein the notification portion changes a current notification method to another notification method when the detected running speed of the vehicle becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined speed during the open state of the lid member.

3. The vehicle that performs notification about an open/closed state of a lid member covering an interface for supplying driving energy, the vehicle comprising:

a notification portion that performs notification when the lid member is in the open state; and

a connection detecting portion that detects a connection state of a driving energy supply device to the interface,

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the driving energy supply device is connected to the interface during the open state of the lid member,

the vehicle further comprising:

a speed detecting portion that detects a running speed of the vehicle,

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the vehicle starts running during the open state of the lid member, and

wherein the notification portion resumes the notification when the detected running speed of the vehicle becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined speed.

4. A vehicle that performs notification about an open/closed stated of a lid member covering an interface for supplying driving energy, the vehicle comprising:

a notification portion that performs notification when the lid member is in the open state; and

a connection detecting portion that detects a connection state of a driving energy supply device to the interface,

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the driving energy supply device is connected to the interface during the open state of the lid member,

the vehicle further comprising:

a shift detecting portion that detects an operation state on a shift setting portion of the vehicle,

wherein the notification portion suspends notification when the shift setting portion is operated to a shift range where the vehicle is enabled to run.
