A process to adjust the steering angle of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The process includes providing a target relationship between a first variable and a second variable, defining a region of an algebraic space defined by the first variable and by a third variable, providing a mapping which associates each of pairs of values of the first and third variable in the region with a corresponding desirable value, such that the steering angle fulfils the target relationship, acquiring current values of the first and third variable, calculating the desirable value by means of the mapping based on the current values if defining one of the pairs of values in the region, determining a steering control signal as a function of the calculated desirable value, and controlling the actuator device with the steering control signal.
