They work by breaking the curciut to the CC module, wired in series so pressing either pedal will cut the CC. The vacuum pipes are to release the vacuum in the CC throttle actuator, when you press either pedal the valves open, so releasing the vacuum, they work as a backup to the electrical swiches (so if you have an electrical fault the CC still cannot operate, as no vacuum can build in the actuator with the valves open)
