Can Cruise Control be used without eyesight?

I have a 2016 OB Ltd and suddenly while getting ready for a road trip, the yellow “EyeSight Off check manual” warning light came on. In reading the manual, I was under the impression that non-EyeSight assisted cruise could be activated if EyeSight is not operating. I have not been able to get this to engage and really need cruise control for this trip. Dealer says eyesight camera needs to be replaced which I have neither time nor money to take care of before leaving. Would appreciate any guidance anyone may have as to [1] whether regular cruise can be enabled if there is EyeSight issue and [2] how to do so. Tried turning on cruise control and pushing up/down distance button per manual ~ no success.

Press and hold the distance button. It’s 3-5 seconds before it switches.

From page 75 of the Eyesight manual:

• When the (CRUISE) switch is first turned on, the Adaptive Cruise
Control is set.
• To change the Cruise Control mode, press and hold the / (following
distance setting) switch for approximately 2 seconds or longer.
(This is effective only when the main Cruise Control is on and neither
Adaptive Cruise Control nor Conventional Cruise Control are set.)
• Conventional Cruise Control can be used even when EyeSight is temporarily
turned off.
If it's not working, try turning off cruise control completely then following the steps above.
