Abstract

A method includes, in response to an entry signal indicating an opening of an operator door, detecting a first torque value corresponding to a first torque applied to a handwheel and determining a second torque value corresponding to the first torque value. The method also includes applying, to the handwheel, a second torque corresponding to the second torque value and, based on at least one of a measurement associated with a seat sensor and a period associated with the first torque being applied to the handwheel: determining whether to selectively adjust the second torque value; and, in response to a determination to selectively adjust the second torque value, applying, to the handwheel, an adjusted torque corresponding to the adjusted second torque value.
