ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle rear wheel steering system steers the rear wheels in accordance with front wheel steering, with a steering angle which corresponds to the sum of proportional and differential components of the front wheel steering amount. A detecting unit detects a front wheel large steering condition in which the front wheels have been steered with an amount in excess of a preset value. A correction unit corrects at least one of the above-mentioned components in the front wheel large steering condition, in such direction as to improve transient turning response characteristic of the vehicle. An actuator unit steers the rear wheels by a steering angle based on at least one component which has been corrected in the large front wheel steering condition. The turning-round property and maneuverability of the vehicle can be prevented from degradation despite the rear wheel steering under the front wheel large steering condition.
