The first marker point indicator 2, displayed red, is larger and brighter than the second marker point indicator 3 displayed blue. A first optical path is defined between the first marker point indicator 2 and the light source 6, and a second optical path is defined between the second marker point indicator 3 and the light source 6. The first optical path is longer than the second optical path. A concave mirror 5 alters a direction of the light emitted from the light source 5 upward a rear window glass R of the automotive vehicle. The first marker point indicator 2, the light source 6 and the concave mirror 5 are cooperative to form an image 2a of the first marker point indicator 2 at a position corresponding to a corner or end position of a vehicle body. Meanwhile, the second marker point indicator 3, the light source 6 and the concave mirror 5 are cooperative to form an image 3a of the second marker point indicator 3 at a position far from the corner or end position of the vehicle body.
