Abstract: A method for an electrical limitation of the travel path of a steering gear in a wheeled vehicle, in particular a passenger car, which exhibits a steering drive, is provided. The method includes adjusting the steering gear in a first direction and acquiring a first maximum travel path in the first direction. The method includes prescribing a first limiting value based upon this acquired first maximum travel path and electrically limiting the travel path of the steering gear in the first direction based upon the first limiting value. The first maximum travel path is acquired by the steering drive.

Abstract: A method is provided to control a power steering device and an adaptive damping system of a motor vehicle. The power steering device makes available a mechanical steering angle range that is limited by steering stops. The adaptive damping system makes available a variable damping force. The damping force of the adaptive damping system is increased and a maximum achievable steering angle is simultaneously increased in case a steering stop is reached.

Abstract: A motor vehicle includes an adjustable steering assistance. The adjustable steering assistance includes an evaluation unit for evaluating the grip of a road travelled, in which the extent of the steering assistance is variable as a function of the result of the road grip evaluation. The effectiveness of the steering assistance adjustment is due to the fact that the driver is accustom to the hand moment exerted on the steering wheel during steering, conventionally as a fixed relationship to the torque, which for steering the wheels of the motor vehicle has to be exerted thereon. Consequently, the lower the steering resistance the less road grip as a general rule. In that the extent of the steering assistance is varied, a road with less grip can thus be suggested to the driver in order to prompt him to a correspondingly careful driving style.
