Abstract

Device for controlling of the traveling speed of a motor vehicle with an electrical controller, which controller, by an electrical adjusting device in dependency on a desired value which is fed-in or stored by the driver via one or more manually actuatable first actuating elements, acts on an element which influences the ratio of the fuel-air mixture fed to the motor vehicle, particularly the throttle valve, and its adjusting device is switchable inoperatively off by second actuating elements. Elements are provided by which the controller can be turned off if at least one first actuating element and at least one second actuating element are in their active position or condition.
