ABSTRACT:
A steering system for vehicles in which the steered angle ratio of a rear wheel to a front wheel is controllable in accordance with the vehicle speed. The steering system is provided with a manual switch device for selecting to set an arbitrary one of a plurality of predetermined steered angle ratios. The steering system may be further provided with a switch lock device for locking the switch state of the manual switch device. The switch lock device may be actuated when the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined reference vehicle speed. Further, the switch lock device may be actuated when a reduction gear is shifted to a shift position having a relatively low reduction ratio. The switch lock device may also be actuated when the steered angle of the front wheel is larger than a predetermined value.
