Abstract
A steerable vehicle information display system is provided, in which images remain undisturbed even if a momentary power interruption occurs. The steerable vehicle information display system comprises: a DPF controller (), which acquires status information (Dto D) from the ECUs of each section of a motor vehicle with a predetermined periodicity; a rendering controller (), which generates component images representative of the status of each section of the motor vehicle based on the status information (Dto D) and generates a composite image of a motor vehicle dashboard by compositing the generated component images; and a nonvolatile memory (), which stores the status information (Dto D) or intermediate information generated from the status information, with the information being at least the latest information. If any of the status information (Dto D) is not acquired, the rendering controller () generates the informational image using information read from the nonvolatile memory () and displays it on the liquid crystal display device ().
