Abstract
A warning system for a vehicle has a warning device for issuing a warning when the vehicle approaches an object. A warning timing parameter section detects a driving operation by the driver of the vehicle, and calculates a reaction time from the time a warning is issued by the warning device to the time the driver starts the driving operation in response to the warning. A warning control section controls the timing at which the warning should be issued by the warning device, based on the calculated reaction time.
