Abstract
A speed limit value that is set for a road where a vehicle is travelling is used to limit a driving force of the vehicle. If a new speed limit value is acquired, which differs from a currently used speed limit value, and the vehicle is in a state where the driving force is limited based on the currently used speed limit value, a switching screen page enabling an occupant of the vehicle to input a switching instruction to switch the speed limit value used to limit the driving force is displayed. Then, if the occupant inputs the switching instruction in response to the switching screen page being displayed, the speed limit value used to limit the driving force is switched to the new speed limit value.
