Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the driving stability of a vehicle, wherein it is determined when a stable or unstable driving behavior prevails whether a tendency to a subsequent unstable driving behavior exists as a result of a highly dynamic inward swerve.In order to provide a method for controlling driving stability, which allows a reaction to predicted unstable driving situations by means of an intervention diminishing or avoiding critical driving situations, the steering force and/or the steering angle of a steering handle is corrected in this case in such a manner that when the steering handle is operated, the driver is assisted in the direction of an understeering vehicle course.
