I think the simple answer is no.
According to that document you can only set it when at (and to) speeds of 30kph or more and it disengages if speed drops below 25kph.
My (much later technology) Volvo can (in general) only be set at a minimum of 20mph but will come to a halt in a traffic jam and resume whatever speed the target is.
It will however only resume within about 3 seconds of stopping, otherwise you have to press a button or "tickle" the accelerator to move off. And it won't sit forever on the brakes either, though that's a much higher limit.
(And if there's another vehicle close in front to follow at a slower speed below 20 you can "set" and follow at those lower speeds, but it won't exceed 20mph until you set the target higher)
