Abstract

A driving system for a motor vehicle includes a first driving function for automated driving with automated longitudinal and transverse guidance and a second driving function for automated driving with at least automated longitudinal guidance or with at least automated transverse guidance. The second driving function has a lower level of automation. The first driving function is available for activation in a first admissibility range defined by a lower and/or upper limit for a driving parameter. The driver uses a first input component to prescribe a driver nominal value preset for the driving parameter that is in the first admissibility range. In response, the current driving behavior of the active second driving function is adapted. The driving system then establishes that the driving parameter satisfies a first criterion for the first admissibility range. The first driving function is then activated.
