Abstract
A control unit for a vehicle is configured to determine, during an approaching manoeuvre of a distance controller and/or cruise controller of the vehicle towards a vehicle in front, whether or not the vehicle will overtake or can overtake the vehicle in front during the approaching manoeuvre. Furthermore, during the approaching manoeuvre, the control unit is configured to adjust a behaviour of the cruise controller and/or adaptive cruise controller of the vehicle on the basis of the above determination.
