Abstract
A method for operating a control system for the automated lateral guidance of a vehicle includes determining a target variable for the automated lateral guidance of the vehicle, determining a manipulated variable for a steering actuator by a controller device, adapting adjustment parameters, which describe a controlled variable of the controller device and/or an output from the steering actuator, for different driving functions of the vehicle, receiving a request signal to output haptic feedback on a steering wheel of the vehicle, outputting a feedback signal for adapting the target variable for the output of the haptic feedback on the steering wheel during the automated lateral guidance of the vehicle, and adapting the feedback signal and/or the adjustment parameters during the output of the haptic feedback in such a manner that perception of the haptic feedback by a driver is the same irrespective of the driving function of the vehicle.
