Vehicle driving position adjusting device
First Claim
1. A vehicle driving position adjusting device comprising:
- a control means, for detecting positions of plural devices and for moving the devices; and
an indicating means for indicating a positional relationship between at least two devices in accordance with a standard physique characteristic curve to be adapted to a plurality of standard physiques, wherein the control means move the at least two devices respectively to a return point on the standard physique characteristic curve.

Abstract
A vehicle driving position adjusting device which adjusts an optimum driving position of a driver by moving the seat and the pedal to positions which are adapted to a standard physique of the driver. When the reclining position of the seat is within the driving region while the vehicle is parked and the driver operates the standard key, the seat control device and the pedal control device move the seat and the pedal respectively to the return point on the standard physique characteristic curve which is adapted to a plurality of standard physiques. When the driver manually moves the position of the seat, the pedal control device automatically adjusts the position of the pedal based on the standard physique characteristic curve.

16. A vehicle driving position adjusting device comprising:
-
a steering wheel control means for detecting a position of a steering wheel;
a seat control means for detecting a position of a seat and for moving the seat; and
an indicating means for indicating a positional relationship between the steering wheel and the seat in accordance with a safe characteristic curve be adapted to a safe development space of an airbag developed from the steering wheel;
wherein when it is judged that the safe development space of the airbag cannot be ensured according to a relative positions of the steering wheel and the seat, the steering wheel control means moves the steering wheel or the seat control means moves the seat based on the safe characteristic curve.

17. A vehicle driving position adjusting device comprising:
-
a seat control means for detecting a reclining angle of a backrest of a seat and for moving the seat; and
a pedal control means for moving a throttle pedal;
wherein when it is judged that the seat is not at a driving posture judging from the reclining angle of the backrest of the seat and when it is judged that an engine rotates for more than a predetermined time at an engine rpm greater than a predetermined value, the pedal control means moves the throttle pedal away from the seat or the seat control means moves the seat away from the throttle pedal.
