In a first distance range to the obstacle, the velocity of the vehicle is limited by the control of the power of the drive unit of the vehicle. In a second distance range which is less than said first distance range, the braking force at the wheel brakes is built up.

[ We claim:] [1.] Method for controlling the approach of a vehicle to an obstacle, the vehicle moving at a velocity and having an engine which produces power and wheel brakes, said method comprisingdetecting the distance from the vehicle to an obstacle,determining the velocity of the vehicle when approaching the obstacle,maintaining the velocity of said vehicle below a first predetermined velocity by reducing engine power when said distance is in a first predetermined distance range,determining when the vehicle is in a second predetermined distance range which is closer to the obstacle than the first predetermined distance range, and maintaining the velocity of said vehicle below a second predetermined velocity by building up braking force when the distance is in said second predetermined distance range, until the obstacle is reached.
