Abstract

A method for steering a vehicle and a steering system are provided, in which a variable torque support of the driver's steering wish and intervention in the position of the steered wheels triggered by a driving dynamics regulator are implementable without mutually interfering with one another. In addition, further additional functions, such as the lane guidance system of the vehicle, may be integrated into a steering system easily and either with or without compensation of the steering feel at the steering wheel.
