1. A vehicle state presentation system comprising:
a vehicle; and
a terminal device that is separate from the vehicle and that includes (i) a receiver that receives a notification signal from the vehicle which indicates that the vehicle is in a first state which is different from a second state, (ii) a notification unit that notifies a user of the terminal device of the first state of the vehicle based on the notification signal, (iii) an input unit that receives, from the user of the terminal device, an input which commands the first state to be maintained, and (iv) a transmitter that transmits a signal to the vehicle based on the input received by the input unit,
wherein the vehicle includes a control unit that
performs control that maintains the first state after lapse of a predetermined time from a time that the notification unit of the terminal device notifies of the first state of the vehicle when a reception unit of the vehicle receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time, and
performs control that changes the first state to become the second state after the lapse of the predetermined time when the reception unit of the vehicle does not receive the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
