A cruise control arrangement for a vehicle includes a cruise control speed function, a cruise control brake function and at least one selectable economy level, having a set maximum speed value corresponding to a maximum allowed vehicle speed, a set brake speed value corresponding to a brake cruise speed and a set cruise speed value corresponding to a cruise speed, where a temporary brake speed value replaces the set brake speed value as the actually used brake speed value, and where the temporary brake speed value is dependent on the selected economy level. The behavior of the cruise control of a vehicle can be adapted to take account of economy, which makes it possible to optimize the fuel consumption of the vehicle.
