PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent excessive depression of a vehicle accelerator pedal.SOLUTION: An accelerator pedal effort control apparatus increases a pedal effort of an accelerator pedal when an accelerator opening angle is larger than a predetermined accelerator opening angle threshold value SL. If a steering angle of a steering wheel when a vehicle driver starts to increase an opening angle of accelerator pedal is small, a pedal effort increment is a reference pedal effort increment (&Dgr;F) and, in a case where the steering angle is large, is a relatively small pedal effort increment (&Dgr;F-&bgr;). Thus, when the vehicle turns right or left from a stopped state, pedal effort increment (&Dgr;F-&bgr;) is set to relatively be small so that a smooth acceleration becomes possible. |
