METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADAPTING ACCELERATION IN A MOTOR VEHICLE

The invention relates to a method for automatic acceleration adjustment in a motor vehicle (1), wherein a detection device (2) determines a speed limit that applies to a road section, wherein a cruise control device (6) determines a cruise control target acceleration based on the speed limit, and wherein a control device (8) controls a drive device (9) of the motor vehicle (1) based on the cruise control target acceleration with a drive target acceleration. The method is characterized in that a distance control device (12) determines a distance control target acceleration based on a detected vehicle distance to a vehicle (13) ahead, and in that the drive target acceleration is limited by the distance control target acceleration such that the drive target acceleration remains below the distance control target acceleration.
