<p>In a control arrangement for a motor vehicle including a brake system and an engine, which can be arbitrarily switched off by the driver via a switching device, for example by a so-called stop-start device 40, the brake is arranged to be automatically applied when the vehicle speed is below a set value, or negative, upon switching-off of the vehicle engine (by switch 42). This saves an application of the handbrake at every stop such as at a traffic light which has been necessary until now. In the circuit shown, a switching signal for switching off the engine is tapped off at the output 36 of the "stop-start device" 40 and conducted to a switching stage 34 which produces the adjusting signal for the adjusting element in the form of an electric motor 15 acting on the parking brake linkage. Alternatively the adjusting element acts to retain foot brake pressure. <IMAGE></p> |
