Abstract
In a device on a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine as the drive source and an accelerator pedal and transmission means for controlling the power of the internal combustion engine a switch activated when the accelerator pedal is actuated is provided in the power control system, which switch, in the non-activated state, prevents the internal combustion engine from delivering power exceeding its idling power. If the internal combustion engine is provided with an overrun cut-off for interrupting the fuel supply during overrun operation, the switch can be the idling switch of the overrun cut-off.
