The control systemfor a vehicle V includes an ECU. If a predetermined communication state where a portable deviceis estimated to be in a compartment of the vehicle V is established (if the answer to the question of the stepis NO) after a state where a power source position set by a changeover switchis an accessory position has continued for a first predetermined time period (ΔT·TREF), the ECUstops power supply from the power source to the on-vehicle electric device when a second predetermined time period (ΔT·TREF) elapses after the predetermined communication state was established (steps).
