ABSTRACT:
Cruise control system for motor vehicles is provided, which control system has a sensor device for measuring the vehicle's performance characteristics and for measuring the distance to a target ahead of the vehicle, a controller to control the vehicle's speed or acceleration as a function of the measured performance characteristics and distance data, and an input device for a shut-off command to shut off the controller. The control system also has a shut-off function to shut off the controller as a function of other operational commands from the driver, and the controller has a stop function for automatically braking the vehicle to a standstill. The input device for the shut-off command is deactivated if the stop function is active and the vehicle is stationary.
