<p>A steering system having a function capable of changing ratio of a wheel turning amount of a wheel turning device to an operating amount of a steering operation member and exhibiting an increased utility. A third-element-movement inhibiting device 200 capable of inhibiting a movement of a third element 184, 186, 152 is provided in a movement-amount variably transmitting device 14 which has a housing 80 fixed relative to a vehicle body and which is capable of changing a relative movement amount of a first element 82, 182 connected to a steering operation member and a second element 90, 182 connected to a wheel turning device 12, according to a driven amount of the third element 184, 186, 152. The steering system is further provided with a device for canceling inhibition of the movement of the third element 184, 186, 152 which is made by the third-element-movement inhibiting device 200. The provision of the device of cancelling the movement inhibition enables a vehicle operator to appropriately perform a steering operation, even when the first and second elements are disabled from being moved relative to each other, for example, due to sticking of the elements.</p> |
