Claim:
1. A method for displaying vehicle information, the method comprising: setting a driving velocity and an inter-vehicle distance after activating a smart cruise control function; performing a smart cruise control according to the set driving velocity and the set inter-vehicle distance and displaying smart cruise control-related information in an augmented reality display region located in a front portion of a driver's own vehicle; comparing an actual inter-vehicle distance between the driver's own vehicle and a nearby vehicle to the set inter-vehicle distance during performance of the smart cruise control; determining a state in which display information cannot be displayed on the augmented reality display region by one or more figures according to the set inter-vehicle distance when the actual inter-vehicle distance is less than the set inter-vehicle distance; determining an information displayable region in the augmented reality display region; and scaling the display information depending on a size of the information displayable region and displaying the scaled display information, wherein a vertical length of the information displayable region is calculated by subtracting a vertical length of an overlapping region of a nearby vehicle region of a front image and the augmented reality display region, and a vertical length of a region in which nearby vehicle indication information is displayed, from a vertical length of the augmented reality display region.
