An exterior screen is extendable toward the opening and is made of a material having low stiffness. While being extended toward the opening, the exterior screen displays an image by allowing the light beam emitted by the projector to pass therethrough. A screen housing unit is mounted on or near one of a rear hatch and a back door of the vehicle for accommodating the exterior screen.

Abstract: A channel reassignment is accomplished without causing a momentary interruption resulting from a mismatch in pointer value. After a bridge setting is made between a source channel and destination channel at a first node designated as the starting point of a reassignment section, messages B/C are sent out from the first node toward a fourth node designated as the end point. Second and third nodes that received the message C each transfer the message to the next node after interlinking the pointer operation of the destination channel with the source channel. The fourth node that received the message C sends out a message D toward the first node after changing the setting of a TSA. The second and third nodes that received the message D transfers the message to the next node after clearing the pointer interlinking operation.
