ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A cruise control apparatus for a motor vehicle which includes a rotatably mounted cord reel. An accelerator linkage gear is non-rotatably coupled with the cord reel. An accelerator cord is mounted on the cord reel and adapted for attachment to an accelerator pedal of a motor vehicle, whereby the accelerator pedal is held down. A knob is provided whereby the accelerator linkage gear is rotated to wind the accelerator cord onto the cord reel to hold the accelerator pedal down in a preselected position. A rotatably mounted locking linkage gear engaging the accelerator linkage gear. A pivotally mounted contact member having a contact surface, the contact member being pivotable between an engaged positioned and a disengaged position. In the engaged position the contact surface engages the locking linkage gear thereby preventing rotation of the accelerator linkage gear. A contact member retaining cord is secured to the contact member and is adapted for attachment to a brake pedal. The contact member retaining cord maintains the contact member in the engaged position. activation of the brake pedal of the motor vehicle creates slack in the contact member retaining cord permitting the contact member to pivot into the disengaged position thereby permitting unfettered rotation of the locking linkage gear and accelerator linkage gear whereby the accelerator pedal is released.
