Method and device for operating a motor vehicle

The method involves determining steering angle of two of wheels (4, 5) of a front axle (2) by a steering wheel (18). The steering wheel is rotated up to a maximum steering wheel angle in a steering direction. Force applied on the steering wheel is detected during reaching of the maximum steering wheel angle. The wheels (4-7) are individually actuated by electric machines (8-11) for increasing yaw rate depending on the applied force. Torque applied on a steering device (17) is determined during reaching of maximum steering wheel angle. An independent claim is also included for a device for operating a motor vehicle.
