Abstract
A microcomputer performs communication in conformity with the CAN standards to capture seating signals detected by seating sensors and seatbelt fastening signals by buckle switches. If determining from the captured seating signals that there is an unoccupied seat, the microcomputer displays a seatbelt state image at the unoccupied seat position in a vehicle image in gray presentation. If determining that there is an occupied and non-fastened seat, the microcomputer displays the seatbelt state image at the non-fastened seat position in the vehicle image in red presentation and displays the seatbelt state image at an occupied and fastened seat position in black presentation.
