yes, that is how you engage/disengage it. but not to worry, it takes more time than just the quick roll forward that you would do to disengage cruise.

I believe the OP claims he gets the one lung idle even before the machine is up to temperature. If my understanding is correct, he has a problem separate from just accidentally rolling the throttle forward. EITMS should NOT activate on a cool engine. If this continues, you have a warranty problem to be looked into at the dealer.

Just a slight pull on the front brake lever or pressing the foot brake will also dis-engage cruise control.

On my '14 Limited, I have to roll mine forward for a few seconds, release, then roll it forward and hold it for a few seconds again to turn it on or off.
