Abstract
A MET and a HUD are provided inside a cabin of an host vehicle so as to be capable of being viewed by an occupant. An acquisition section is configured to acquire information regarding surrounding objects around the host vehicle. A control section is configured to suppress display on the HUD of an image of a surrounding object other than a first preceding vehicle traveling ahead in a current traveling lane of the host vehicle from out of images of surrounding objects for which the information has been acquired by the acquisition section. The control section also displays the first preceding vehicle and other surrounding objects on the MET, with display of the other surrounding objects being incrementally toned-down according to their importance level.
