1. A control method for a vehicle that has: a steering angle sensor that detects a steering angle of a steering system; and an accelerator sensor that detects an accelerator pedal depression amount, the control method for the vehicle comprising:
a step of adding deceleration that corresponds to the accelerator pedal depression amount to the vehicle when said accelerator pedal depression amount detected by the accelerator sensor is smaller than a specified value that is larger than 0;
a step of determining whether a turning operation of the steering system is performed on the basis of the steering angle that is detected by the steering angle sensor;
a step of adding the deceleration to the vehicle so as to control a vehicle posture when it is determined that the turning operation of the steering system is performed; and
a step of setting the deceleration, which is added to the vehicle at the time when it is determined that the turning operation of the steering system is performed, to a smaller value when the accelerator pedal depression amount is smaller than the specified value and is a first value than when the accelerator pedal depression amount is smaller than the specified value and is a second value that is larger than the first value.
