Abstract
A control unit functionally comprises a first steering-torque application control part which commands a steering actuator of a vehicle to execute application of a steering torque determined by a first steering characteristic CHand a second steering-torque application control part which commands the steering actuator of the vehicle to execute application of a steering torque determined by a second steering characteristic CH. The first steering characteristic CHcomprises plural characteristics CHA-CHJ which have different steering torques changing according to a vehicle speed. The characteristics CHA-CHJ are set according to the vehicle speed such that these gradually change in a manner CHA→CHJ as the vehicle speed becomes higher. The steering torque applied to the steering wheel is set such that the higher the vehicle speed is, the smaller the steering torque is, as shown by the characteristics CHA-CHJ.
