1. A control system for controlling a steering system, the control system comprising:
- a first module that determines a hysteresis position based on handwheel velocity and handwheel torque;
a second module that selectively determines an assist curve based on the hysteresis position; and
a third module that generates a final assist command based on the assist curve.
