Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that causes an electronic control unit (ECU) to execute deceleration support control during execution of inter-vehicle distance control or constant speed control, the deceleration support control comprising:
during execution of the deceleration support control, determining whether an object with a possibility of collision with a host vehicle has been detected;
when the object has been detected, determining whether an interval from an ending time of the deceleration support control to a starting time of a next deceleration support control is less than a threshold value; and
when the interval is less than the threshold value, performing one of a first intermediate control and a second intermediate control, the first intermediate control being control which maintains a vehicle speed at the ending time of the deceleration support control, and the second intermediate control being control which restarts inter-vehicle distance control or the constant speed control.
