Abstract
A length-adjustable connecting rod has a first rod part and a second rod part, with the rod parts being displaceable telescopically toward and/or in one another by means of a length-adjusting means, and with the length-adjusting means being chargeable via a hydraulic channel with a hydraulic medium. The hydraulic channel is fluidly connectable by means of a control device to a hydraulic medium supply channel. The control device has a first and a second valve, each with a valve chamber and each with a valve body that can be pressed by a restorative force against a valve seat. The valve chamber of the first valve is fluidly connected to a first hydraulic channel, and the second valve chamber of the second valve to a second hydraulic channel. The valve bodies are operatively interconnected via a connecting device that can be displaced between a first position and a second position.
