Abstract: A display of a changing operation assisting apparatus for a vehicle selectively displays various screens which include setting elements and transition elements. Each of the setting elements is previously related to a setting item relating to a driving assistance function provided by the vehicle. Each of the transition elements is previously related to a different one of the screens. If a set state corresponding to one of the elements has changed within a setting change determination period, the apparatus increases a state change value corresponding to a combination of a driver who is currently on the vehicle and the element. The apparatus displays, as a part of a specific screen, the element whose increase amount of the state change value corresponding the driver within a display determination period is equal to or greater than a threshold.
