1. A power feeding system for an electrically powered vehicle for feeding electric power from a power transferring unit of a power feeding apparatus provided outside of the electrically powered vehicle to a power receiving unit incorporated in the vehicle in a non-contact manner, the power feeding system comprising:

  • first sensing means for sensing positional relation between said power transferring unit and said power receiving unit;

    first guidance control means for controlling said vehicle such that said vehicle is guided to said power transferring unit based on a sensed result by said first sensing means;

    second sensing means for sensing a distance between said power transferring unit and said power receiving unit based on an electric power feeding condition from said power transferring unit to said power receiving unit; and

    second guidance control means for controlling said vehicle such that a position of said power receiving unit is adjusted to a position of said power transferring unit based on a sensed result by said second sensing means when said vehicle comes within a prescribed distance from said power transferring unit by said first guidance control means.
