Default FLHTPI cruise control question

Hi,

Being new to Harley's and especially the police ones, I'm curious about the thumb screw under the right handle on a 1999 FLHTPI. It locks the throttle, so I'm assuming it's the "manual" cruise control. But there is also a Cruise light under the speedo, next to the engine light. That one never goes on. Is it intended for the civilian models that have real cruise control?

Thanks!

In fact it is, yes.
