Abstract
Even in the case where a vehicle is not utilized for a long period of time, not only maintenance notification but notification of countermeasures is performed by use of vehicle information. There is provided a control unit that: calculates a maintenance timing based on vehicle information obtained by a vehicle information I/F, a present time measured by a time measurement unit, and maintenance information stored in a memory unit; detects that the maintenance timing for the vehicle part has arrived, from the result of a failure determination based on the vehicle information, a stoppage period during which the vehicle is turned off, a usage period of the vehicle part between the usage-start time and the present time, and mileage of the vehicle or an engine driving time; and controls a display unit to notify the user of the arrival of the maintenance timing and a maintenance method.
