Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting a driver's hands on a steering wheel of a vehicle. In one step, a steering system is excited to vibrate. The oscillations of the steering system are determined in a steering wheel remote area. The oscillations of a steering wheel near area of the steering system of the vehicle are determined. In a further step, the determined oscillations of the steering wheel near area are compared with stored characteristic oscillations of the steering wheel near area, which occur during the same excitation in a state in which the steering wheel is not touched.
