ABSTRACT:
A system for automatically swinging a steering wheel to a withdrawn position to make it easy for the driver to get on and off a vehicle is made more reliable by employing a park position sensor such as a detent switch for producing a park signal only when a shift lever of an automatic transmission is in a park position. A control unit produces an automatic withdraw command signal to drive a motor to withdraw the steering wheel in response to a driver's operation such as an operation to open a driver's door or an operation to turn an ignition key to a lock position. The control unit produces the automatic withdraw command signal only when the shift lever is in the park position.
