Abstract
Device for controlling a starting process, which comprises an engine equipped with a power regulating element. The position of the power regulating element, which is equipped with an actuator, can be controlled by a control device, to which signals are sent indicating the activation position of an accelerator pedal as well as the speed of a crankshaft of the engine. The crankshaft can be connected via a clutch to a gear input shaft. When a predetermined speed limit value of the crankshaft is reached, the actuator of the power regulating element can be activated by the control device for the purpose of limiting the crankshaft speed. A clutch pedal is provided, by means of whose activation the starting process can be controlled.
