Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Description and Operation

The cruise control release switch and stoplamp switch assemblies are used to disengage the cruise control system. A release switch and stoplamp switch assembly mounted on the brake pedal bracket disengages the system electrically when the brake pedal is depressed. This is done by activating the brake cut-out input to the cruise control module assembly. The speed of the vehicle at brake actuation will be stored in the memory of the system.
