A guidance control system for a vehicle calculates a start point for deceleration operation of the vehicle on the basis of traveling condition information that changes as the vehicle travels and vehicle information that changes only slightly as a result of the travel of the vehicle. If the driver maintains a throttle operator at a given opening angle or more at a specific point before a point suitable to start decelerating, an actuator applies a force to the throttle operator in the direction of closing the throttle, thus notifying the driver that the vehicle is close to the point suitable to start decelerating. The system calculates a start point suitable for deceleration operation of a vehicle with high accuracy using more input values while at the same time keeping calculation cost and time to a minimum.
