Abstract:
1. A vehicle operation assist apparatus comprising: a display section constructed to indicate both an actual value of a parameter that is operated by a vehicle operator in order to vary engine output of a vehicle, and a reference guide value of the parameter which allows the vehicle to realize a predetermined performance in a current operating condition, the display section serving to allow the vehicle operator to operate the parameter by using the reference guide value as an index; and a section configured to change the reference guide value such that the engine output of the vehicle is decreased, in a case where a current gear ratio of a transmission is deviated from a gear ratio of the transmission which is determined based on an operating condition of the vehicle and provides the reference guide value of the parameter which allows the vehicle to realize predetermined performance.
