Abstract
A vehicle includes a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether a vehicle traveling speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold speed, when the processor receives, while a vehicle travels in a normal traveling mode, a switching instruction. The processor is configured to refrain from switching a vehicle traveling mode to a rough road traveling mode and make a switching reservation of switching the vehicle traveling mode to the rough road traveling mode, when the processor determines that the vehicle traveling speed is equal to or higher than the threshold speed. The processor is configured to switch, based on the switching reservation, the vehicle traveling mode to the rough road traveling mode, when the processor determines that the vehicle traveling speed becomes less than the threshold speed after the vehicle traveling speed is determined as being equal to or higher than the threshold speed.
