A radar device is configured to transmit an electric wave and receives a reflected wave that is generated by a reflection of the electric wave on an object, and to recognize the object is a potential obstacle that is to be hit by the vehicle when a received intensity of the reflected wave thereby is a specified threshold or more. And, the specified threshold has a plurality of preset values. Accordingly, a determination as to whether or not the obstacle detected by the radar device is the potential obstacle to be hit by the vehicle can be accurately made.

Obstacle detecting control device of vehicle

A liquid-crystal indicator control system for displaying at least two different informations alternatively at predetermined times that includes a temperature detector for detecting the ambient temperature relative to the liquid-crystal indicator. The ambient temperature is compared to a predetermined value and a signal is output when the temperature is less than the predetermined value. Display time is changed from a given predetermined time responsive to the signal indicative of ambient temperature being less than the predetermined value.
