The steering has a manually applied torque as well as a correction torque to counteract slew forces on the vehicle. The slew correction reduces the steering torque by an amt. dependent on the measured slew force, the rate of change of slew force and the actual vehicle speed. At low speeds there is a positive increase in the steering torque. The steering torque correction is a function of the slew force minus a speed related coefft. multiplies by the rate of change of slew force. The coefft. is positive for higher speeds and negative for low speeds.
