First Claim
Patent Images
1. A speed control system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an electronic control unit operatively configured to generate actuation signals for controlling a speed of the motor vehicle to a specified desired speed;
a control element coupled with the electronic control unit, actuation of the control element intervening in speed control and influencing same;
wherein the control element comprises a button configured such that;
(a) when the button is pressed, an intervention in active speed control occurs for a time duration in which the button is pressed such that no drive torque is generated; and
(b) when the button is no longer pressed, original speed control is resumed.

Abstract
A speed control system for a motor vehicle has an electronic control device which generates actuation signals for controlling the speed of the motor vehicle to a specified desired speed, and a control element, on the actuation of which an intervention which influences the speed control is performed. The control element is designed in the form of a button. When the button is pressed, the system intervenes in the active speed control for the time for which the button is pressed in such a way that no drive torque is generated. When the button is no longer pressed, the original speed control is resumed.

17. A method of operating a speed control system of a motor vehicle having an electronic control unit that generates actuation signals for controlling a speed of the motor vehicle at least to a specified desired speed, the method comprising the acts of:
-
providing a control element in the form of a button coupled to the electronic control unit actuation of the button influencing speed control of the speed control system; generating a first intervention in the speed control when the button is pressed briefly; when the button is pressed for a longer time period, intervening in active speed control for the time duration in which the button is pressed such that no drive torque is generated; and when the button is no longer pressed, resuming original speed control.
