Abstract: A selection device for setting the driving speed of a vehicle is provided having an operating element, a control device, which is connected with the operating element and coupled with an engine control and which is designed so that, upon activation of the control, the vehicle speed will be regulated automatically, whereby at least two vehicle speed values can be marked on a display. These values can be initiated by using the operating element. In addition to the vehicle speed values, a pointer is indicated on the display. The pointer can be moved by using the operating element. In a programming operating mode of the control unit, the set vehicle speeds or the vehicle speeds to be set can be set and erased by use of the pointer. In a driving speed control operating mode of the control unit, the set vehicle speeds can be activated by the use of the pointer.
