Abstract
Generating a steering wheel torque (ML) on a steering wheel in a vehicle steering system as a tactile feedback. A value for a rack force (FZ) may be obtained, and at least a component (MZ) of an actuator-generated target steering wheel torque (MS) utilizing a characteristic curve (K) that defines the steering wheel torque (MS) as a function of the rack force (FZ). A steering wheel torque (ML) is generated on the basis of the target steering wheel torque (MS) using an actuator mechanically connected to the steering wheel. A steering system for a vehicle, and a control unit for such a steering system may be configured to perform the functions disclosed herein.
