CONTROLLING OSCILLATORY FEEDBACK PROVIDED THROUGH VEHICLE STEERING

摘要

A method for controlling the provision of oscillatory feedback through a steering system of a vehicle. The method comprises receiving a request to provide oscillatory feedback through the steering system of the vehicle. The method further comprises obtaining an electrical signal representative of a value of an applied steering torque that indicates the presence of a driver steering input, and comparing the value of the applied steering torque to a predetermined threshold value. The method still further comprises automatically inhibiting the provision of the oscillatory feedback when the applied steering torque value is above the predetermined threshold value.
