Abstract
A vehicle control method is executed by a control device of a vehicle. According to the method, a taught path is registered based on an outside situation of the vehicle during teaching traveling in which the vehicle travels from a predetermined position to a target parking position. The vehicle is caused to perform autonomous traveling from the predetermined position to the target parking position. When a speed of the vehicle becomes a first speed or lower during the teaching traveling, a resistance force is applied to a steering wheel rotation operation, and a display device of the vehicle is caused to display a first indicator showing a request for suppression of the steering wheel rotation operation. When the speed of the vehicle becomes a second speed or lower during the autonomous traveling, the vehicle is caused to perform steering at a predetermined angle or greater.
