Abstract
A method for a speed controller for a motor vehicle, wherein a speed prescription is set by the driver and automatic adjustment of the speed to the speed prescription is carried out at least by setting an engine torque prescription, wherein at the start of the speed control the engine torque prescription is set to an initial value, wherein the initial value is determined in accordance with at least one parameter.

A method for a speed controller for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- setting a speed prescription by a driver;
- prior to the start of the speed control, setting an engine torque prescription to an initial value for use during the start of the speed control;
- wherein the initial value is determined in accordance with at least one parameter detected by a sensor of the motor vehicle and set when the speed control is activated, the initial value is computed for the at least one parameter during prior driving trials in another vehicle;
- and
- when the vehicle is stationary, and the driver turns ON the speed controller, and the driver releases a brake of the vehicle within a predetermined time, the speed controller performs an automatic control of the speed to accelerate the vehicle to the speed prescription.
