A motor vehicle internal-combustion engine control device, comprising means for, in a first operating condition, limiting internal-combustion engine torque, said first operating condition, as a result of an operation of a brake when the torque is simultaneously demanded by a driver's intention indicator, differing from a second operating condition in which the brake is not operated, the limiting also taking place by limitation of charges of internal-combustion engine combustion chambers, and means for reducing an advance angle efficiency in the first operating condition in comparison to the second operating condition.
