1. A method for setting a cruise control function with automatic distance setting in a single-track vehicle, comprising the following steps:
ascertaining a side distance between two preceding single-track vehicles;
determining a threshold value as a function of the side distance between the two preceding single-track vehicles;
ascertaining a side distance between an ego single-track vehicle and a preceding single-track vehicle of the two preceding vehicles;
using the preceding single-track vehicle as a target vehicle to be followed for the cruise control function in the event that the side distance between the ego single-track vehicle and the preceding single-track vehicle is less than or equal to the threshold value.
