Vehicle Control System and Method for Operating a Driving Function Upon Actuation of the Accelerator Pedal

A vehicle control system provides a driving function for automated longitudinal control of a vehicle. The vehicle control system is designed to detect that the accelerator pedal of the vehicle is actuated. The vehicle control system is also designed to capture actuation information in relation to the actuation of the accelerator pedal and/or in relation to a response of the vehicle caused by the actuation of the accelerator pedal, and to adapt the operation of the driving function according to the actuation information.
