Abstract

A vehicle control system includes: an operation element; a travel control unit configured to accelerate or decelerate a vehicle; and a shift range control unit configured to control a shift range of the vehicle. In a state where the shift range of the vehicle is set to a first travel range, the travel control unit accelerates the vehicle according to a moving operation on the operation element in a first travel direction and decelerates the vehicle according to the moving operation on the operation element in a second travel direction. In a state where the shift range of the vehicle is set to a second travel range, the travel control unit accelerates the vehicle according to the moving operation on the operation element in the second travel direction and decelerates the vehicle according to the moving operation on the operation element in the first travel direction.
