A vehicular steering system can suppress, even upon a change in a neutral
position of a steering wheel, a right and left difference in the behavior
of a vehicle by keeping neutral positions of steerable road wheels from
the start of control. The system includes a steering mechanism that
steers the steerable road wheels of the vehicle through the steering
wheel and an auxiliary steering angle superposition mechanism. A steered
angle of the steerable road wheels is detected as an absolute angle. The
auxiliary steering angle superposition mechanism is controlled by a
target auxiliary steering angle. An activation angle setting section
sets, at the start of control, the initial values of a steering wheel
angle and an auxiliary steering angle as an activation steering wheel
angle and an activation auxiliary steering angle by the steered angle and
a transmission characteristic between the steering wheel angle and the
steered angle.
