Official abstract text for this publication.

A speed changing device includes a control unit (60) that: has a manual mode in which a clutch is engaged and disengaged by operating a clutch lever (4b) and an automatic mode in which the clutch is engaged and disengaged without the clutch lever (4b) being operated and is able to change a setting to the manual mode and the automatic mode; and is configured to signal mode misrecognition when it is determined that mode misrecognition has occurred.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A speed changing device comprising a control unit that: has a manual mode in which a clutch is engaged and disengaged by operating a clutch lever and an automatic mode in which the clutch is engaged and disengaged without the clutch lever being operated and is able to change a setting to the manual mode and the automatic mode; and is configured to signal a mode of misrecognition when it is determined that mode misrecognition has occurred, wherein the control unit is configured to determine that the mode misrecognition has occurred only when a shift operation is performed without the clutch lever being operated in a state in which the manual mode is set and it is determined that a vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a predetermined value. 2. The speed changing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to signal the mode misrecognition by stopping a vehicle. 3. The speed changing device according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit is configured to signal the mode misrecognition by issuing a signal for stopping an engine of the vehicle. 4. The speed changing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to signal the mode misrecognition by issuing a signal for stopping an engine of the vehicle. 5. The speed changing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to signal the mode misrecognition using another means other than stopping the vehicle when it is repeatedly determined that the mode misrecognition has occurred. 6. The speed changing device according to claim 5 , wherein the other means is a means that is configured to change a blinking cycle of an indicator.
