G-1126 C-3987 BRAKE-INITIATED RELEASE OF AN ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVEN CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM Abstract of the Disclosure In a motor driven automotive cruise control system, the engine throttle is progressively released upon actuation of the vehicle service brakes to avoid objectionable pedal slap noise. The release is initiated by the electric motor, which drives the engine throttle toward its closed (rest) position while maintaining engagement of a clutch connected therebetween. If the duration of the brake actuation exceeds a reference interval sufficiently long as to indicate potentially significant braking effort, the clutch is immediately disengaged to return the throttle to its closed position without further delay. If the duration of the brake actuation is less than the reference interval, engagement of the clutch is maintained until the motor has returned the throttle to its closed position.
