  • Publication number: 20170072849
    Abstract: A vehicle information notification device determines an operation abnormality of a first notifier on the basis of a result of analyzing a notification sound outputted from the first notifier, and, when determining that the first notifier is operating normally, determines whether the S/N ratio of the notification sound to ambient noise reaches a permitted level. When it is determined that the first notifier is not operating normally, or that the S/N ratio does not reach the permitted level, the vehicle information notification device causes a second notifier that notifies information in a sensuous manner other than an acoustic manner to notify information to passengers.
