Both statements are correct. The steering system indeed converts the rotary motion of the steering wheel into the lateral motion required to turn the wheels. The steering ratio, which determines how far the steering wheel must be turned to achieve a certain angle of wheel turn, is influenced by factors including the number of teeth on the worm gear.
