A device for generating an additional reset force on the gas pedal for motor vehicles, wherein a position change of the gas pedal relative to the initial position thereof, induced by a corresponding actuating force, against a reset force leads to an increase in the motive power of the engine and, when there is a decrease in the actuating force, a reset force moves the gas pedal back in the direction of the initial position thereof, and wherein an actuator is provided, which applies an additional reset force that acts in the reset direction of the gas pedal, and wherein the motor vehicle has a unit for determining the shifting point of a manually shifted transmission. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for operating the device according to the invention.

Hydraulic protection of a rolling stabilization system

A method for determining a steering angle offset (LWO) in a vehicle having a steering unit and a steering angle sensor. A first frequency distribution (HV) of the steering angle (LW) is determined over a number of steering angles according to at least one dynamic vehicle parameter (Q, G, V), and the average value (MW) of the steering angle (LW) is determined from the first frequency distribution (HV). The next step tests whether the steering angle (LW) in the first frequency distribution (HV) is distributed symmetrically around the average value (MW) and, when there is symmetry of the first frequency distribution (HV) around the average value (MW), the first frequency distribution (HV) is carried over into a second frequency distribution (HV). When the overall number of steering angles (LW) in the second frequency distribution (HV) exceeds a prespecified threshold value (S), the steering angle offset (LWO) is determined from the average value (MW) of the second frequency distribution (HV). A device for determining a steering angle offset (LWO) in a vehicle by way of such a method is also described.
