VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

The vehicle control ECU functions as a detection unit and an attitude control unit. The detection unit detects an object such as a falling object present in front of a vehicle in which an in-vehicle battery as a particular component is provided at a bottom portion of the vehicle body. The attitude control unit controls the air suspension device capable of adjusting the vehicle height so that the vehicle body is in a forward tilting attitude when an object is detected by the detection unit. As a result, the object collides with the front suspension member, thereby suppressing damage to the in-vehicle battery.
