Patent ID: 8855862

Claim:
A vehicle steering system, comprising: a steered wheel driving mechanism that steers a steered wheel; a steering angle detecting unit that detects a steering angle of a steering member; a reaction force actuator that applies steering reaction force to the steering member; a steered operation actuator that drives the steered wheel driving mechanism; a steered operation actuator control unit that controls the steered operation actuator; a steering range determination unit that determines whether the steering angle is within a first steering angle range where the steering angle is smaller than or equal to a first change angle or within a second steering angle range where the steering angle is larger than the first change angle; and a reaction force actuator control unit that controls the reaction force actuator such that the steering reaction force is increased to a maximum value with an increase in the steering angle when the steering angle is within the first steering angle range and the steering reaction force is decreased from the maximum value with an increase in the steering angle when the steering angle is within the second steering angle range.
