Information notification device

Abstract

There is provided an information notification device that is able to encourage a driver to drive in such a way that water condensate inside an exhaust pipe is discharged. The information notification device includes a notification unit that notifies a driver about a blockage in an exhaust pipe or about a possibility of a blockage occurring in an exhaust pipe, and a control unit that, based on output results from various sensors, predicts a blockage caused by water condensate freezing inside the exhaust pipe, and when it has predicted such a blockage, controls the notification unit such that the driver is notified.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
