Abstract

A presentation control device is configured to control information presentation to a driver of a vehicle. A determination unit is configured to distinguish between a monitoring interruption mode in which the driver is permitted to interrupt surroundings monitoring and a monitoring-required mode in which the driver is prohibited to interrupt the surroundings monitoring, and in the monitoring-required mode, between a hands-free permitted state and a hands-free prohibited state. A presentation control unit configured to perform the information presentation related to a mode transition from the monitoring interruption mode to the monitoring-required mode when the mode transition occurs. The presentation control unit is configured to perform the information presentation at an earlier timing when the monitoring interruption mode is transitioned to the hands-free prohibited state than when the monitoring interruption mode is transitioned to the hands-free permitted state.
