  • Patent number: 4958698
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for steering a motor vehicle with a conventional steerable front axle and a steerable rear axle, in which the vehicle speed (V) and the front wheel steering angle (LWV) are detected in order to turn the rear wheels as a function of the vehicle speed (V) and the front wheel steering angle (LWV), with a limit angle (LWVgr) for the front wheel steering angle (LWV), being determined depending on the particular speed at which the vehicle is actually traveling (Vist). When a steering maneuver occurs, the actual front wheel steering angle (LWVist) is then continuously compared to the limit angle (LVWgr), and the rear wheels are turned in the same direction when the actual front wheel steering angle (LWVsit) is greater than or equal to the limit angle (LWVgr).
