'Cue' is not a natural word here. It usually means 'signal someone to do something', but here the point is 'not to do something', ie not to get of the elevator. I suggest eg The old man indicated to / told his partner , who tended to get out of the elevator when it stopped on the 4th floor, that they were not at the ground floor yet.
