I have done this, that is tap the clutch with the cruise on (not on
purpose, I just wasn't thinking) and sure enough the engine began to
head for the fat red line. I caught it in time though. I wondered who
would put in a cruise that way. Mine is aftermarket. It probably only
came with one switch so the shop that installed it made a choice. I wish
they had picked the other pedal.

Any car with cruise would have a cut out witch on the clutch and brake
pedal
.I f it didn't and you stepped on the clutch to change gears the engine
would
rev out of control,It is easy to ck your vehicle to see if it has a cut
off
switch on the clutch ,just tap the pedal lightly while in cruise and it
should shut the system off.Then just hit resume and your back under way,
                  If it dosen't shut off you better find out why.This is
the
beauty of having a cruise unit instead of just a throttle lever ,if
while
under cruise you find a need to change gears or brake hard it
automatically
shuts down without you having to think about it.
