Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a steering system for a motor vehicle, which steering system has, on the one hand, a steering handle which can be operated by a driver of the motor vehicle, and a hand torque adjuster which is assigned to the steering handle and is designed to apply a damper force, counteracting the operation by the driver, to the steering handle, and, on the other hand, a wheel angle adjuster which is coupled to at least one steerable wheel of the motor vehicle and which is electrically actuated as a function of operation of the steering handle in order to set a steering angle of the at least one wheel. There is provision that the damper force is generated by the manual torque adjuster as a function of a current performance of the wheel angle adjuster.
