Abstract
An arrangement controls the steering angle of a motor vehicle and the like which contains a user-controllable operating element and a vehicle longitudinal speed sensor system. A steering angle adjusting device is coupled with the longitudinal speed sensor system and the operating element such that the desired steering angle value is indicated as a function of the control force exercised on the operating element and the sensed longitudinal speed of the vehicle. Control element deflection devices deflect the operating element corresponding to the respective existing actual steering angle value.

Arrangement for controlling steering angle of steerable wheels of a motor vehicle, comprising a user-controllable operating element, a vehicle longitudinal speed sensor system for sensing vehicle longitudinal speed;
- a steering angle adjusting device operatively coupled with the vehicle longitudinal speed sensor system and the operating element such that a desired steering angle value is determined by a value generator as a function of a control force exerted on the operating element and of the sensed vehicle longitudinal speed and supplied to a steering control unit;
- and control element deflection devices operatively arranged to deflect the operating element corresponding to an existing actual steering angle value of said steerable wheels.
