Abstract

An information provision system of the present disclosure stores a current vehicle condition and a normal unattended condition of the vehicle as relevant information in a driver's unit, when a driver of a vehicle gets off the vehicle. The relevant information in the driver's unit is transmitted to a facility unit when the driver having the driver's unit reaches a facility that has the facility unit. The facility unit that has received the relevant information provides a notice that how the current vehicle condition is different from the normal unattended condition of the vehicle based on a comparison result of the current vehicle condition and the normal unattended condition in the reference condition. The driver of the vehicle or the like is encouraged to change the current vehicle condition to an appropriate one when he/she receives the notice that the current vehicle condition is different from the normal unattended condition.
