Abstract
The vehicle speed control arrangement according to the invention has a cruise control function module and a limitation function module to limit the speed to a variable, specified limiting speed which separates a range of permitted speeds from a range of speeds to be avoided. For the purpose of convenient and functionally reliable operation, the apparatus has an operating device for reciprocally activating either one or the other function module with simultaneous deactivation of the other module and for setting the required speed value in cruise control mode and a desired limiting-speed value in limitation mode.
