Abstract
A device for controlling the coasting mode of a vehicle in the context of a distance control and/or speed control function of the vehicle. The device is designed to determine that, upon exiting the coasting mode, the vehicle has an actual vehicle speed which lies below a target speed of the distance control and/or speed control function and/or an actual distance to a preceding vehicle, the actual distance lying above a target distance of the distance control and/or speed control function. In response thereto, the device is additionally designed to produce a coasting mode acceleration, which is reduced in comparison to a standard acceleration of the distance control and/or speed control function, for the vehicle in order to bring the actual speed closer to the target speed and/or in order to bring the actual distance closer to the target distance.
