The color displayed on the display unit is changeable between a first color and a second color. The first color is established as a color indicating a fuel-efficient driving operation state. The second color is established as a color indicating a fuel-inefficient driving operation state. The color to be displayed is determined such that the color to be displayed gets closer to the first color as the detected driving operation becomes a more fuel-efficient driving operation state.
