A storage unit stores a correspondence between a voice command and a display mode modification operation. When a control unit determines that a vehicle is traveling according to a traveling state of the vehicle obtained by a traveling state acquisition unit, when a voice recognition unit recognizes a voice, which is uttered by a user and received by a voice input unit, and when the control unit determines that the recognized voice corresponds to a voice command stored in the storage unit, the control unit performs a display mode change operation corresponding to the voice command and modifies a display mode of an icon indicated on an indication screen of an indication unit.
