Abstract

See full text

A motor-driven power steering unit comprising an electric motor for producing an auxiliary steering force in a steering system coupling a steering wheel to two wheels of a vehicle. The steering system provides assistance, based on steering information, to a rotation of the steering wheel by control of an electric current fed to the electric motor. A steering angle detection device is provided, wherein the steering system regulates the assistance as a function of a steering angle detected by the detection device. The assistance, or current, is reduced after a pre-set or pre-definable angle is reached or exceeded prior to reaching a respective end position. The reduction of the assistance or current is cancelled as soon as signs of steering force and the steering angel no longer coincide.
