Patent ID: 8467939

Claim:
A motor vehicle steering system comprising: a knob for rotating a wheel of a steering member, the knob having a knob center and being supported rotatably around the knob center by the wheel; a wheel reaction force actuator that applies a wheel reaction force to rotation of the wheel; a knob reaction force actuator that applies a knob reaction force to rotation of the knob; a grip detection device that detects gripping on the knob; and a control unit that controls the knob reaction force actuator and the wheel reaction force actuator, wherein the control unit sets a predetermined period after detection of gripping on the knob by the grip detection device as a transfer period for transfer from reaction force application only by the wheel reaction force actuator to reaction force application only by the knob reaction force actuator, and in this transfer period, increases the knob reaction force with time and reduces the wheel reaction force with time.
