Abstract

A method for detecting a steering engagement by a driver in a vehicle without a steering wheel sensor system, in which at least one steering sensor associated with a steering system of the vehicle, which sensor is associated either with the steering wheel or with a steering linkage of the vehicle, is used to capture a first application of force into the steering system of the vehicle, in which at least one chassis sensor associated with at least one chassis component of the vehicle is used to capture a second application of force onto the at least one chassis component.
