A method of operating an active steering system and active steering system

The invention relates to a method for operating an active steering system and active steering system. An inventive method for operating an active steering system, wherein a steering ratio between a predeterminable by the driver, steering wheel angle and a wheel lock angle can be modified by superimposing a superposition angle by means of the active steering system, comprises the steps of: detecting an offset between a requested overlay angle and an actual superposition angle and reducing wherein a reduction rate of reduction depending on at least one predetermined input by the driver is selected, this offsets.
