Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus for determining a locking state of a fuel filler door of a vehicle is provided to allow a driver to recognize the locking state by employing a female contact sensor and a male contact sensor in a locking member. A female contact sensor(65a) is embedded in a locking hook(65) of a fuel filler door(60). A male contact sensor(75a) is embedded in a striker(75) of an opener(70) locked with the locking hook. An ECU detects an abnormal locking state when the female contact sensor is separated from the male contact sensor, to transmit an electrical signal to a cluster unit provided at the front portion of a driver seat. The cluster unit lightens a cluster lamp or rings an alarm sound when receiving an electrical signal from the ECT. |
