Patent ID: 6917869

Claim:
A method of controlling handling of one of an all-wheel drive vehicle having at least one of a controllable longitudinal clutch and a controllable main-axle lateral lock and a single axle drive vehicle having a controllable lateral lock, said method comprising the steps of: detecting at least the driving speed (v), the lateral acceleration (a q ) and the actual steering angle (LW(akt)); providing a stored a filed characteristic diagram, which includes the driving speed (v) and the lateral acceleration (a q ) said diagram supplying a characteristic-diagram steering angle (LW(KF)) pertaining to the driving speed (v) and the lateral acceleration (a q ); and changing the lateral acceleration (a q ) when a definable deviation (Δ) of the actual steering angle (LW(act)) from the characteristic-diagram steering angle (LW(KF)) is exceeded.
