Abstract

A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle has at least one sensor for measuring the distance of the vehicle from an object and a control unit for activating functional groups of the motor vehicle as a function of the measuring result of the sensor. The control unit may be switched between a park-distance control operating mode and a pre-crash operating mode as a function of the speed of the vehicle. A switchover between a cruise-control operating mode and the pre-crash operating mode is dependent on a movement of an object relative to the vehicle as ascertained by the sensor.
