1. A vehicle display system comprising:
- a display unit configured to show an image;
a camera controller configured to output an image containing a rearward view of a vehicle captured by an onboard camera to the display unit; and
a media controller configured to output an image that does not contain the rearward view of the vehicle to the display unit, whereinthe vehicle display system operates in a normal mode in which the vehicle is travelable and a test mode that differs from the normal mode,when the vehicle display system is in the normal mode, the display unit is configured to show the output image of the camera controller if the display unit receives a signal indicating that a transmission of the vehicle is in a reverse gear through a signal line, and show the output image of the media controller if the display unit receives a signal indicating than the transmission of the vehicle is not in the reverse gear through the signal line, andwhen the vehicle display system is in the test mode, the display unit is configured to show one of the output image of the camera controller and the output image of the media controller that is selected by the media controller regardless of a signal received through the signal line.

Abstract
A vehicle display system includes a display unit, a camera controller, and a media controller. When the vehicle display system is in a normal mode, the display unit shows an output image of the camera controller if a transmission of a vehicle is in a reverse gear, and shows an output image of the media controller if the transmission of the vehicle is not in the reverse gear. When the vehicle display system is in a test mode, the display unit shows a test image selected by the media controller regardless of whether or not the transmission of the vehicle is in the reverse gear.

9. A method for controlling a vehicle display system that operates in a normal mode in which a vehicle is travelable and a test mode that differs from the normal mode, the method comprising:
-
showing an image containing a rearward view of the vehicle captured by an onboard camera on a display in accordance with a reception of a signal indicating that a transmission of the vehicle is in a reverse gear through a signal line when the vehicle display system is in the normal mode; showing an image that does not contain the rearward view of the vehicle on the display in accordance with a reception of a signal indicating that the transmission of the vehicle is not in the reverse gear through the signal line when the vehicle display system is in the normal mode; and showing an image for the test mode on the display regardless of a signal obtained through the signal line when the vehicle display system is in the test mode.

10. A vehicle display system that operates in a normal mode in which a vehicle is travelable and a test mode that differs from the normal mode, the vehicle display system comprising:
-
a display configured to show an image; and circuitry, wherein when the vehicle display system is in the normal mode, the circuitry is configured to show an image containing a rearward view of the vehicle captured by an onboard camera on the display if the circuitry receives a signal indicating that a transmission of the vehicle is in a reverse gear through a signal line, when the vehicle display system is in the normal mode, the circuitry is configured to show an image that does not contain the rearward view of the vehicle on the display if the circuitry receives a signal indicating that the transmission of the vehicle is not in the reverse gear through the signal line, and when the vehicle display system is in the test mode, the circuitry is configured to show an image for the test mode on the display regardless of a signal obtained through the signal line.
