Abstract
A control unit determines whether a rapid acceleration pedal depression operation has been performed. The control unit determines whether a low impact collision has occurred. When it is determined that the rapid acceleration pedal depression operation has been performed and the low impact collision has occurred, the control unit executes a secondary collision damage mitigation control.Consequently, the secondary collision damage mitigation control can be appropriately executed even when a collision that does not cause an air bag to be inflated has occurred.
