Abstract
A vehicle obstacle alarm device includes: an alarm generation device capable of changing a form of an alarm; a ranging device that measures a distance between a vehicle and an obstacle around the vehicle; and a driving assistance ECU configured to switch the form of the alarm according to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle. The driving assistance ECU changes a condition for switching the form of the alarm such that the condition for switching the form of the alarm when both a first distance and a second distance are equal to or smaller than a reference value differs from the condition for switching the form of the alarm when only one of the first and second distances is equal to or smaller than the reference value.
