Abstract: A system, method, and control unit for controlling a driver assistance function of a motor vehicle are provided. The driver assistance function assists a driver during a turning maneuver. An action of the driver assistance function is suppressed when the motor vehicle's speed exceeds a predefined speed limiting value and is permitted when the speed is at or below the predefined speed limiting value. The speed limiting value is dynamically adjusted based on an ascertained outside temperature. A first value is selected as the speed limiting value when the outside temperature is greater than or equal to a predefined temperature limit value, and a second, lower value is selected when the outside temperature is below the predefined temperature limit value.
