When either a front-side sensor or a rear-side sensor of a subject vehicle
detects an obstacle entering a certain distance range of multiple
distance ranges within a detection zone close to the subject vehicle, a
micro-computer causes a warning unit to warn with a buzzer in a primary
warning pattern that is prepared for each distance range. In contrast,
when both detect obstacles, the warning unit is caused to warn in the
following patterns. In a first case that at least one of two sensors
detects an obstacle entering a shortest distance range, the warning unit
warns in a different warning pattern differentiated from the primary
warning pattern. In a second case except the first case, the warning unit
warns in the primary warning pattern corresponding to the distance range
that is entered by the obstacle that is closer to the vehicle, of the
obstacles detected by the two sensors.
