Abstract

A method and device for adaptive control of separation distance and/or driving speed of a motor vehicle, at least in a first operational mode an engine of the motor vehicle and in a second operational mode a brake of the motor vehicle being able to be activated as a function of a magnitude, representing an acceleration, the magnitude representing the setpoint acceleration is formed and/or limited at least as a function of at least one base value.
