Zusammenfassung:	A control device and a method for controlling a cruise control system of a host vehicle are provided. The method comprises simulating vehicle speed of the host vehicle for an upcoming road section under a condition of a predetermined torque limitation (Tq_lim) being active, thereby determining a simulated vehicle speed profile for the host vehicle. The method optionally further comprises determining (S202) an estimated following distance profile, relative to a target vehicle, for the host vehicle for the upcoming road section based on the simulated vehicle speed profile for the host vehicle. The method also comprises, in response to a determination that the simulated vehicle speed profile for the host vehicle fulfils a first predefined condition or that the optionally determined estimated following distance profile fulfils a second predefined condition, activating (S104, S205) the predetermined torque limitation (Tq_lim), if not already active.
