A touch panel type input device is provided with: a display unit (16, 18) that displays a plurality of input-enabled regions that can be contacted by a user's finger; an input device (S200) that makes an input corresponding to an input-enabled region upon detection of contact of the user's finger on the input-enabled region; and a first approach alert device (S100) that issues a first approach alert to the user alerting the user to the approach of the finger when the user's finger is present within a first predetermined distance from the input-enabled region without contacting the display unit. The first approach alert device issues the first approach alert by vibrating a part of the vehicle interior other than the input device.
