In accordance with a vehicle running condition along a lane and an actual steering angle, a control unit determine a target steering angle to follow the lane, and controls an actual steering torque with an actuator to a target steering torque to achieve the target steering angle. The control unit limits the target steering torque by setting a target torque limit determined in accordance with a sensed longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle.
