Abstract

A vehicle function control device that controls functions of a vehicle includes an electronic control unit configured to determine whether there is a terminal device performing communication with an in-vehicle communication device around the in-vehicle communication device using the in-vehicle communication device, when determination is made that there is the terminal device performing communication with the in-vehicle communication device around the in-vehicle communication device, determine whether a distance between the in-vehicle communication device and the terminal device is within a predetermined range, and control execution of a specific function of the vehicle based on a determination result.
