Abstract
A vehicle head-up display device includes a stepping motor that outputs a rotation to adjust an optical position of a reflecting mirror, a zero detection unit that detects a zero position by the rotation of the stepping motor in a return-to-zero direction, an initial adjustment unit that adjusts the optical position to an initial position based on the zero position by the rotation of the stepping motor in an away-from-zero direction, and a user adjustment unit that, after the adjustment of the initial position, adjusts the optical position to a command position based on the zero position responsive to a command from the vehicle user. The zero detection unit sets a higher rotation speed of the stepping motor than the user adjustment unit, and sets a lower output torque than the user adjustment unit.
