Method for operating a vehicle

A method for operating a vehicle comprising a steering system having a steering handle and at least one wheel steering angle actuator operatively connected to the steering handle for changing a wheel steering angle of at least one vehicle wheel of the vehicle, the method comprising:

• in a normal operating state, controlling at least one steering functionality of the steering system depending on an operating parameter correlated with a current vehicle speed of the vehicle;
• in an operational fault state in which an availability of the operating parameter is restricted and/or a failure of the operating parameter is determined, replacing the operating parameter by a replacement parameter correlated to a replacement speed;
• and
• performing a situationally adjusted transition from the operating parameter to the replacement parameter,
• wherein the at least one steering functionality is a variable steering translation process between the steering handle and the at least one wheel steering angle actuator.

A vehicle comprising:

• a steering system including a steering handle and at least one wheel steering angle actuator operatively connected to the steering handle and configured to change a wheel steering angle of at least one vehicle wheel of the vehicle;
• and
• a computing unit operatively connected to the steering system and configured to:
• in a normal operating state, control at least one steering functionality of the steering system depending on an operating parameter correlated with a current vehicle speed of the vehicle,
• in an operational fault state in which an availability of the operating parameter is restricted and/or a failure of the operating parameter is determined, replace the operating parameter by a replacement parameter correlated to a replacement speed, and
• perform a situationally adjusted transition from the operating parameter to the replacement parameter,
• wherein a transition from the operating parameter to the replacement parameter occurs at a basic transition speed, and
• wherein the basic transition speed is situationally modified depending on a steering movement of the steering handle.
