Claim:
1. A method for situation-related steering assistance in a lane keeping assistant for a vehicle, comprising: importing, with an interface, during a lane change, a collision signal representing an item of information about a risk of collision; ascertaining, with a processor, a correction signal for an intervention steering torque of the lane keeping assistant using the collision signal; and adapting, with the processor, the intervention steering torque of the lane keeping assistant based on the correction signal, wherein (i) the intervention steering torque counteracts a steering torque applied by a driver of the vehicle and (ii) a steering torque threshold for deactivating the intervention steering torque varies as a function of the vehicle's surrounding conditions, wherein the intervention steering torque is deactivated if the steering torque applied by the driver exceeds the steering torque threshold.
