VEHICLE OCCUPANT ASSISTANCE APPARATUS

A vehicle occupant assistance apparatus predicts acceleration occurring when a vehicle is traveling. When a make-up mode is activated, assistance information is notified before a predetermined value of the acceleration occurs, based on predicted values of the acceleration. Thus, since the assistance information is notified to an occupant before the vehicle shakes due to the predetermined value of the acceleration, assistance taking a shake of the vehicle into consideration can be rendered to the occupant who applies make-up when the vehicle is traveling.
