The apparatus executes the deceleration assistance control of a first level as a deceleration assistance level of assisting the deceleration of the vehicle when first and second conditions are satisfied. The first condition is a condition that a target point distance between the vehicle and the deceleration assistance target point is equal to or shorter than a predetermined distance, and blinkers are activated.
