Next, in step S104, the message status corresponding to the message type is set to 1 (displayed), and
(MN) = 1 is set, and in step S105, i = 1
And j = 1. Subsequently, step S10
In steps 6 to S108, i = 1 to 4 is set for the variable I (i).

Further, in steps S109 to S115, message types are set for variables I (i) (i = 1 to 4) in order of decreasing priority.

Specifically, at step S106, the variable I
(I) = i is set sequentially until i> 4. Thereby, I (1) to I (1) to I (i) for j = 1
(4) is set. If i> 4 is satisfied in step S108, k = j + 1 (j = 1) in step S109.
