Abstract:
A method for generating an auxiliary steering torque (AST) adapted to a present driving situation (PDS) of a motor vehicle using an active steering assistance system (SAS), including ascertaining the present driving situation (PDS); classifying the ascertained present driving situation (PDS) into at least one of a group of driving situation categories (DSC); and generating an auxiliary steering torque (AST) using the active steering assistance system (SAS). Wherein the amount and/or a time profile of the auxiliary steering torque (AST) depends on the classification of the present driving situation (PDS) into one of the driving situation categories (DSC).

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2  wherein generation of the auxiliary steering torque is carried out such that upon the presence of the first driving situation the auxiliary steering torque is an amount such that the motor vehicle follows the intended driving path; upon the presence of the second driving situation the auxiliary steering torque is an amount such that the driver feels at least one direction of the auxiliary steering torque required to achieve direction for reaching the required total steering torque; upon the presence of the third driving situation the auxiliary steering torque applied by the steering assistance system is reduced the stronger the steering torque applied by the driver is; and upon the presence of the fourth driving situation the auxiliary steering torque is an amount such that the auxiliary steering torque does not fall below a predefined minimum value to give the driver at least the information that a steering torque assistance is active.
