Abstract

A display unit is disposed in front of a driver's seat in a front central region of a passenger compartment of a vehicle. A sensor senses a condition, such as a driver's eye position, an outside brightness and a steering frequency, affecting the uneasiness of a driver caused by the display screen. A controller reduces the size of a picture display region in accordance with the condition to achieve an agreeable size and position of picture on the screen.
