Abstract
A method for controlling an operating mode of a controller for at least one suspension component of an at least partially active suspension of a vehicle. In accordance with at least one control command provided by a user for steering the vehicle, a situation detection is carried out to detect a control situation in which the at least one suspension component of the suspension which should be at least partially actively controlled, can be potentially controlled, and in the event that a control situation is detected, at least one reactive controller for controlling the at least one suspension component is switched from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, the at least one reactive controller being switched into the second operating mode with an increased bandwidth and amplification when compared with the first operating mode.
