Even in the case where a vehicle is not utilized for a long period of time, not only maintenance notification but notification of countermeasures is performed by use of vehicle information. There is provided a control unit that: calculates a maintenance timing based on vehicle information obtained by a vehicle information I/F, a present time measured by a time measurement unit, and maintenance information stored in a memory unit; detects that the maintenance timing for the vehicle part has arrived, from the result of a failure determination based on the vehicle information, a stoppage period during which the vehicle is turned off, a usage period of the vehicle part between the usage-start time and the present time, and mileage of the vehicle or an engine driving time; and controls a display unit to notify the user of the arrival of the maintenance timing and a maintenance method.

Maintenance notification apparatus

An automatic two-wheeled vehicle display device is such that, while warning information is being displayed in a second display region, a CPU changes a background color gradation of the second display region to a first gradation (for example, white) for a first setting period t, gradually increases backlight luminosity to reach a maximum value (100%) in a third setting period tthat is shorter than the first setting period t, and maintains the backlight luminosity at the maximum value (t=t+t) for a fourth setting period t. Subsequently, the CPU changes the background color gradation of the second display region to a second gradation (for example, black) for a second setting period t, and adjusts the backlight luminosity to a luminosity the same as that in a normal mode (for example, 20%).

Automatic two-wheeled vehicle display device

A vehicle information display apparatus that shortens an activation waiting time is obtained.
