ABSTRACT:
A steering system for a vehicle comprises a transmission ratio changing mechanism inserted between the steering wheel and dirigible wheels of the vehicle to change the transmission ratio, thereby changing the steering ratio, a vehicle speed detecting means and a controller which receives a vehicle speed signal from the vehicle speed detecting means and controls the transmission ratio changing mechanism so that the steering ratio is reduced as the vehicle speed increases and the rate of change of the steering ratio with the vehicle speed is larger in a low vehicle speed range than in a high vehicle speed range.
