The concept

The active steering actively varies the steering angle of the front wheels in relation to the steering wheel movements. In addition, it also varies the steering force required for steering depending on the vehicle's speed.

When you are driving in the low speed range, for instance in a town or when parking, the steering angle increases, i.e., steering becomes very direct.

In the higher speed range, on the other hand, the steering angle is reduced more and more. This improves the handling of your vehicle over the entire speed range.

In critical situations, the system can make targeted corrections to the steering angle provided by the driver and thus stabilize the vehicle before the driver intervenes.
