A method for setting a cruising mode of a vehicle, wherein a human/machine interface is arranged on a steering wheel of the vehicle for shifting a transmission of the vehicle, the human/machine interface comprising at least one first switch segment and at least one second switch segment and at least one switch, wherein the switch segments are arranged on the at least one switch, the method comprising:
- setting the cruising mode of the vehicle when the at least one first switch segment and the at least one second switch segment of the at least one switch are both activated within a threshold period of time.
A system for setting a cruising mode of a vehicle, comprising:
- a human/machine interface for shifting a transmission of the vehicle, being arranged on a steering wheel of the vehicle,
- wherein the human/machine interface comprises at least one first and at least one second switch segment and at least one switch,
- wherein the first and second switch segments are arranged on the at least one switch, and
- wherein the system is configured such that, when the at least one first switch segment and the at least one second switch segment of the at least one switch are activated at the same time, the at least one switch controls the transmission to bring about a setting of the cruising mode for the vehicle.
