German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Power steering
German term or phrase: Anlenkbereich
There is only a single sentence where this occurs (and no other background information).

The idea is that certain curves should be steeper in this range in which there are low steering rack forces. I'm just not sure what the range is. "An-" may indicate a "start" or "initial", but that's not at all certain.

Ein steilerer Anstieg der Basislenkmomentkennlinien is notwendig für ein gutes Lenkgefühl im Anlenkbereich, also für kleine Zahnstangenkräfte.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Explanation:


....lends a positive feel when initiating a steering maneuver.

I know, bit long-winded, but there are no real satisfactory translations for it (same like Ansteuerung ['approach' for some is satisfactory]), but not in your case. The 'Bereich' here is implicit.
