Claim:
1. A vehicle acceleration suppression device comprising: an obstacle relative distance detector configured to detect a relative distance between a vehicle and an obstacle; a drive force manipulation amount detector configured to detect a drive force manipulation amount that is a manipulation amount of a drive force instruction manipulation element that can be manipulated by a driver of the vehicle and that instructs a drive force of the vehicle; a steering manipulation amount detector configured to detect a steering manipulation amount that is the manipulation amount of a steering manipulation element that can be manipulated by the driver; and a drive force limit unit configured to limit the drive force of the vehicle to a predefined drive force limit value, depending on the steering manipulation amount detected by the steering manipulation amount detector, when the relative distance detected by the obstacle relative distance detector is equal to or shorter than a predefined limiting relative distance and the drive force manipulation amount detected by the drive force manipulation amount detector exceeds a predefined drive force manipulation amount threshold, wherein the drive force limit unit is configured to set the drive force manipulation amount threshold to decrease, as the steering manipulation amount detected by the steering manipulation amount detector increases.
