1. A system for changing the real speed of a work vehicle with a continuously variable transmission and an electronic control device having a cruise control function, comprising the following actuating elements:

  • a) an actuating element for changing the real speed of the vehicle, said real speed being continuously memorized as a first real speed and being maintained by the cruise control function if no re-adjustment takes place; and

    b) a first switch for disenabling and re-enabling the cruise control function, wherein the set first real speed is kept memorized on disabling and is set again on re-enabling, further comprising a second switch which, upon actuation, adjusts a second real speed, especially of zero, corresponding to a standstill of the vehicle, and by means of said actuating element said second real speed is adjustable for a maneuvering travel, said second real speed increasing up to a predetermined maximum value as long as said actuating element remains activated, and by actuating said second switch again, the cruise control function for said first real speed is re-enabled.
