ABSTRACT:
A cruise control device and method for controlling a vehicle such that the driver can set the speed setting at will, and the speed of the vehicle is controlled to match the speed setting. The speed limit for the road on which the vehicle is traveling is detected, and when the detected speed limit changes from a first speed limit to a second speed limit, the speed setting is selectively changed to the second speed limit. When the driver has performed an operation to change the speed setting before the detected speed limit changes from the first speed limit to the second speed limit, changing of the speed setting to the second speed limit is selectively suppressed.
