Abstract

A method for integrated representation of the parameters of an adaptive cruise control device includes the steps of: (a) alphanumerically representing a set, desired speed on a pictorial horizon of the display device; (b) pictographically representing a motor vehicle if a distance sensor group has detected a motor vehicle driving ahead; (c) alphanumerically representing a detected speed of the motor vehicle within the pictographic representation and in accordance with the representing step (b) if the detected speed is less than the set, desired speed; and (d) symbolically representing a traffic lane, a dynamic bar being displayed in the traffic lane, a length of the dynamic bar symbolizing the position relative to the motor vehicle.
