A cruise control system for motor vehicles controls the vehicle speed to a preset desired speed. The cruise control system includes an operating unit for switching the cruise control on and off, an accelerator pedal, normally present in the vehicle, for activating the cruise control and for presetting the desired speed, and a brake pedal, also normally present in the vehicle, for interrupting the active cruise control. The operating unit is configured as a single operating element, during whose actuation the cruise control is switched on or off as a function of the actual operating condition of the cruise control system.
