In an information providing method and device for a vehicle, an engine of the vehicle is stopped automatically when a predetermined permission condition is satisfied in a state in which the vehicle is stopped by a brake operation executed by a driver. The driver is notified of support information for satisfying the permission condition when the permission condition is not satisfied in the state in which the vehicle is stopped by the brake operation. A vehicle stop keeping control generates a braking force capable of maintaining a vehicle stopped state even when the brake operation decreases. The notification of the support information is stopped when it is determined that the brake operation has been released and a notification continuation time has elapsed since the brake operation was released during a state in which the support information is being notified and the vehicle stop keeping control is in operation.

Information providing method for vehicle and information providing device for vehicle

When a permission condition which is set in advance is satisfied in a state in which a vehicle is stopped by an operation of a brake pedal by the driver, an engine mounted on the vehicle is automatically stopped; and when the engine is automatically stopped, while a vehicle stop maintaining control to generate a braking force capable of maintaining a stop state of the vehicle is operated even when a brake operation is reduced, there is started notification to the occupant of the vehicle about ignition information which indicates that a state of an ignition switch of the vehicle is on when a parking brake is operated.

In an information providing method and device for a vehicle, an engine of the vehicle is stopped automatically when a predetermined permission condition is satisfied in a state in which the vehicle is stopped by a brake operation executed by a driver. The driver is notified of support information for satisfying the permission condition when the permission condition is not satisfied in the state in which the vehicle is stopped by the brake operation. A vehicle stop keeping control generates a braking force capable of maintaining a vehicle stopped state even when the brake operation decreases. The notification of the support information is stopped when it is determined that the driver does not wish to automatically stop the engine in a state in which the support information is being notified and the vehicle stop keeping control is in operation.

In an information providing method for a vehicle, an engine is stopped automatically when a predetermined permission condition is satisfied in a state in which the vehicle is stopped by a brake operation executed by a driver. The permission condition is a brake operation amount of a brake having reached a predetermined brake operation amount. The driver is notified of support information prompting the driver to increase the brake operation amount when the permission condition is not satisfied after a predetermined time has elapsed since the vehicle was stopped. A braking force capable of maintaining a vehicle stop state is generated by a vehicle stop keeping control. The driver is notified of the support information when the brake operation amount decreases before the predetermined time has elapsed in a state in which the vehicle has been stopped by the brake operation and the vehicle stop keeping control is executed.
