ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering system has a steering handle as well as steered vehicle wheels connected with one another with respect to the effect at least in the normal operation only by way of a control device ("steer by wire") which compares the signals of a steering angle actual value generator operated by the vehicle wheels and of a steering angle desired value generator operated by the handle. The control device controls a motor used as a manual force adjuster which is coupled with the handle by way of a torsionally elastic shaft arrangement. The extent of the torsionally elastic deformation is analyzed for determining the actual value of the manual force.
