Explanation:

wiederaufnehmen


Explanation:
"to resume" means to start a process were it was paused.

In your context it would mean to apply the previous settings of the cruise control.

You can "resume" a download from some FTP-servers as well.

Explanation:
This is probably a button in the car somewhere so the term should not be long or difficult. Many computer program buttons use "fortsetzen" for such a function.
