Abstract
A method for operating a single-track or multi-track vehicle including a driver-assistance system. In the method, a speed of the vehicle and a distance of the vehicle from a vehicle in front are controlled. The speed is controlled within a system-related speed range of the driver-assistance system using a position of an operating element of the vehicle and is controlled up to an optional target speed that is selectable within the speed range. Before an upper limit of the speed range is exceeded, a warning signal is provided to a driver of the vehicle. The distance is controlled within the speed range in a speed-dependent distance buffer region depending on the position.
