Abstract
A motor vehicle steering system includes a knob that is for rotating a wheel of a steering member, has a knob center, and is supported rotatably around the knob center by the wheel. A control unit sets a predetermined period after detection of gripping on the knob by a grip detection device as a transfer period for transfer from reaction force application only by a wheel reaction force actuator to reaction force application only by a knob reaction force actuator. In the transfer period, the knob reaction force is increased with time and the wheel reaction force is reduced with time.
