To Deactivate A soft tap on the brake pedal, pulling the speed control lever toward you "CANCEL", normal braking, or clutch pressure while slowing the vehicle, will deactivate speed control without erasing the set speed memory.

If this occurs, the system can be reactivated by pushing the Electronic Speed Control switch ON/OFF button and resetting the desired vehicle set speed. 3
