Vehicular display device and vehicular display method
A vehicular display device, in execution of following cruise control with a preceding vehicle ahead of a host vehicle, causes a fixed indication to light up and displays a following mark in a superimposed manner with a following-target preceding vehicle. The fixed indication indicates that the following-target preceding vehicle has been detected. The vehicular display device includes a preceding vehicle detector that detects the following-target preceding vehicle, a display setter that sets the fixed indication to light up and sets the following mark to be displayed in a superimposed manner with the following-target preceding vehicle when the following-target preceding vehicle has been detected by the preceding vehicle detector, and a head-up display that displays images of the fixed indication and the following mark set by the display setter in a display region provided to be superimposed on a position of a windshield of the host vehicle.
1. A vehicular display device that, in execution of following cruise control with a preceding vehicle ahead of a host vehicle, causes a fixed indication to light up and displays a following mark in a superimposed manner with a following-target preceding vehicle, the fixed indication indicating that the following-target preceding vehicle has been detected, the vehicular display device comprising:
a preceding vehicle detector that detects the following-target preceding vehicle;
a display setter that sets the fixed indication to light up and sets the following mark to be displayed in a superimposed manner with the following-target preceding vehicle when the following-target preceding vehicle has been detected by the preceding vehicle detector;
a head-up display that displays images of the fixed indication and the following mark set by the display setter in a display region provided to be superimposed on a position of a windshield of the host vehicle; and
a display controller that turns off the following mark with the fixed indication kept lighting up when a predetermined period of time elapses from a start of the display of the following mark by the head-up display,
wherein, when the following-target preceding vehicle is changed, the display setter sets the following mark to be displayed in a superimposed manner with the changed preceding vehicle.
2. The vehicular display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller emphatically displays the fixed indication when turning off the following mark.
3. A vehicular display method performed by a vehicular display device that, in execution of following cruise control with a preceding vehicle ahead of a host vehicle, causes a fixed indication to light up and displays a following mark in a superimposed manner with a following-target preceding vehicle, the fixed indication indicating that the following-target preceding vehicle has been detected, the vehicular display method comprising:
detecting the following-target preceding vehicle;
setter the fixed indication to light up and set the following mark to be displayed in a superimposed manner with the following-target preceding vehicle when the following-target preceding vehicle has been detected;
displaying images of the set fixed indication and following mark in a display region provided to be superimposed on a position of a windshield of the host vehicle;
turning off the following mark with the fixed indication kept lighting up when a predetermined period of time elapses from a start of the display of the following mark; and
when the following-target preceding vehicle is changed, setting the following mark to be displayed in a superimposed manner with the changed preceding vehicle.
