Motor vehicle steering system

摘要

A motor vehicle steering system includes a knob for rotationally manipulating a steering member and a knob reaction force actuator for giving a reaction force in response to the rotation of the knob. The knob has a knob center and is supported by the steering member in a manner rotatable about the knob center. Holding the knob and manipulating the steering member causes the knob to rotate (spin) about the knob center as the steering member rotates. The knob reaction force actuator then gives an appropriate reaction force in response to the rotation (spinning) of the knob.
