Abstract

A vehicle display device is provided capable of displaying many pieces of information, and improving operability. A display control unit displays a bar icon including a bar and a pointer moving along the bar in a bar icon display region; an apparatus control unit sets a magnitude of a control parameter based on a position of the pointer; and a notification unit executes notification control to notify a user that an operation is accepted when a touch operation is performed on an operation accepting region. When a swipe operation to slidingly move an operation position of the touch operation is performed after the notification control is carried out, pointer moving control is carried out in which regardless of whether or not an operation position of the swipe operation is in a bar icon display region, the pointer is moved in accordance with a change in the operation position.
