The travel control unit selects which of ordinary gear change control and gear change restricting control is to be performed on the basis of an operation performed on the operation element when there is an automated driving release request in which the automated driving mode is released and the automated driving mode is switched to the manual driving mode during traveling of the vehicle in the automated driving mode.
