Abstract

The invention relates to a steering angle adjusting device with an operating element for adjusting the steering angle as a function of a corresponding operating element actuating parameter. According to the invention, steering angle adjustment takes place as a function of the operating element actuating parameter with a sensitivity that decreases with decreasing coefficient of friction and/or the maximum adjustable value of the operating element actuating value decreases with a decreasing coefficient of friction and/or an increasing lengthwise speed of the vehicle.
