PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manual operating element for a vehicle that is easily operated and excellent in appearance, and that ensures a sufficient space for a parking brake lever. SOLUTION: The manual operating element for a vehicle has a first manual operating element 13 that is pivotably mounted to a handle bar via a first support shaft 12 and is pivoted by an occupant, and a second manual operating element 15 that is pivotably mounted to the handle bar via a second support shaft 14, and enables the second manual operating element 15 to bring the vehicle into a parking state during parking. The first manual operating element 13 is provided with an output part 26 pivotable about the first support shaft 12, and the second manual operating element 15 is provided with an input part 44 pivotable about the second support shaft 14 by being pressed by the output part 26. Then, only by operating the first manual operating element 13, the second manual operating element 15 can also be operated, facilitating a releasing operation of the packing brake.
