Abstract
A steering control device set a steering reaction force characteristic to coordinates so that the self-aligning torque increases as the steering reaction force increases. Upon applying a steering reaction force corresponding to the self-aligning torque to a steering unit based on the steering reaction force characteristic to offset the steering reaction force characteristic at coordinates more in a direction in which an absolute value of the steering reaction force increases as a lateral position of a host vehicle approaches to a white line, the offset of the steering reaction force characteristic is suppressed when a turn signal operation is started while suppression of the offset of the steering reaction force characteristic is released when the turn signal operation is ended so that an absolute value of an increase gradient when releasing suppression of the offset becomes smaller than an absolute value of a decrease gradient when suppressing the offset.
