Abstract
Provided is an obstacle detecting unit that acquires a detection signal based on a distance between a vehicle and an obstacle around the vehicle; an image acquiring unit that acquires an image signal corresponding to an image around the vehicle; and a control unit that executes, based on the detection signal and the image signal, an automatic parking process detecting the parking space and parking the vehicle in the parking space. The control unit is configured to execute, when executing the automatic parking process, a fault handling process depending on a state of the automatic parking process in the case where a fault occurs in either the obstacle detecting unit or the image acquiring unit.
