Abstract
A method to selectively prevent a vehicle from resuming a vehicle set speed stored in memory of a cruise control system includes monitoring a vehicle speed, determining that the vehicle speed indicates operation in a low speed range, determining a threshold slow zone maneuver based upon the vehicle speed substantially remaining in the low speed range through a predetermined duration, and inhibiting resumption of the vehicle set speed based upon the threshold slow zone maneuver.
