Abstract

A control device for controlling a display device is mounted on a moving body that moves to a target position specified by a user by automatic steering. The moving body is configured to be capable of perpendicular parking into the target position and parallel parking into the target position. When the perpendicular parking or the parallel parking is performed, the control device causes the display device to display a top view image of the moving body and surroundings, and to display a frame image indicating a place set as the target position superimposed on the top view image. The control device is capable of enlarging and displaying the top view image according to an instruction from the user. The control device makes a display range when the top view image is enlarged and displayed different between when the perpendicular parking is performed and when the parallel parking is performed.
