English

Subject field(s)
  • Steering Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Active steering gives drivers more precise handling and tracking: this ensures that their automobiles are more mobile and agile even on twisting roads. A planetary gear is integrated with the steering column; depending on the situation, the feature varies the angle of steering determined by the user at the wheel (superimposed steering). It increases the steering angle at lower and mid-range speeds; by contrast, at higher speeds (e.g. on motorways), the steering angle is reduced. When parking, the active steering feature makes it easier to manoeuvre by amplifying the movements of the steering wheel.

Domaine(s)
  • Direction (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Système de pointe [qui] associe l'électronique et la mécanique pour faire varier le rapport de démultiplication de la direction dans les conditions normales de conduite à basse et moyenne vitesse.

OBS

Mise au point conjointement par BMW et ZF, elle permet à la servodirection de s'ajuster aux besoins du conducteur. Ainsi, pour améliorer la manœuvrabilité à basse vitesse, la servodirection devient très directe et n'exige que deux tours de volant pour passer d'une butée à l'autre. Idéal pour garer la voiture. Par contre, à haute vitesse, la servodirection redevient plus «habituelle», avec cinq tours de volant la menant d'une butée à l'autre.
