Permanently turn off Smart Cruise Control

I have a 2024 Telluride and I wish to permanently disable Smart Cruise Control. I would like to be in control of my vehicle speeds (increasing and decreasing) when using cruise control. Is there a manual cruise control that can be used if Smart Cruise Control is permanently disabled? Thanks!

We just purchased ours yesterday and are taking it on an 8 hour trip today. We are desperately trying to figure this out as well.

Guessing the dealership should be able to answer that question..

I called my dealership. There is a solution. Go to Setup, Vehicle, Driver Assistance. There are multiple features that you can turn off. Once you have turned off the Smart Cruise Control, you push your cruise control button located on your steering wheel; press the button and hold it until a green cruise light shows where the car icon used to be. This is manual cruise control. I have not tried it yet, but the dealership tells me to make sure this is showing when I start my car. I can set my cruise control just like a manual cruise control option. The key is, do not press your cruise control button on the steering wheel to stop cruise control, use the brake.

Good to know, thanks for posting.....................Do you know by any chance if the start / stop feature can be turned off the same way ??
