Abstract:

An exemplary method correlates a steering device position to a steered element position by determining a target steering angle based on a detected position of the steering device; determining a vehicle steering angle based on a detected position of the steered element; determining a steering correction based on comparing the target steering angle to the vehicle steering angle; and applying a steering control multiplier to affect the steering correction in response to a difference between the target steering angle and the vehicle steering angle being larger than a threshold difference, and in response to a detected vehicle parameter.
