Limiting a Target Value for a Control Variable of a Driver Assistance System

A driver assistance system is configured to determine or receive a setpoint value for a control variable of the motor vehicle, to determine or receive an actual value for the control variable of the motor vehicle, to determine a correction value for reducing a deviation between the setpoint value for the control variable and the actual value for the control variable depending on the deviation between the setpoint value for the control variable and the actual value for the control variable, to compare the correction value with a first threshold value, and at least to limit a future change in the setpoint value for the control variable which increases the deviation between the target value for the control variable and the actual value for the control variable depending on the comparison of the correction value with the first threshold value.
