Abstract
A cancellation device for an automotive feature on a vehicle includes a lever configured to be manually moved relative to the vehicle from a first, neutral position to a second, non-neutral position to actuate the automotive feature. The cancellation device also includes a detent pawl coupled to the lever such that the detent pawl moves with the lever, a detent spring configured to bias the detent pawl, a centering spring configured to bias the lever back to the first, neutral position, and a magnet configured to generate a force to hold the lever in the second, non-neutral position.
