A display indicating events in a motor vehicle includes sensors for signalling the occurrence of each event and a display for sequentially and singly providing at a display window messages corresponding to each sensed event. When an event is sensed, a series of index impulses sequentially indexes the display from a reference condition and simultaneously triggers a counter which registers an output corresponding to each message. A coincidence circuit determines when the counter state is consistent with the sensed event to terminate the index impulse. In the preferred embodiment, the messages are carried by a rotating drum and a switch sensitive to drum position is used to verify that the drum position corresponds to the counter state.

A multiple message display to singly display at a display location any one of a plurality of messages corresponding to monitored events comprising a plurality of on-off event sensors each corresponding to a message and each for providing an “on”event signal upon the occurrence of a sensed event, means responsive to any “on”event signal effective to provide a time succession of pulses, a display unit having a plurality of message states corresponding to each of said event sensors, respectively, means responsive to the succession of pulses effective to advance the display unit through said message states in sequence, and means including a counter having a plurality of sequentially selected states, the counter being responsive to the succession of pulses to advance the counter state in synchronism with the advance of the display unit and to terminate said pulses to produce and maintain a sensible display in response to an “on” event signal at the sensor corresponding to the particular counter state.
