His 12/25 answer states: > You can test this for yourself, Carrie. Next time your husband commits his cruise control crime, have a look the next time you drive the car. The cruise control will be off. Not so in my 2011 Camaro. Cruise control will only be “off” if I turn it off. Otherwise, if I leave it on when I turn off the car, it will be back on next time I start it. It has no memory of the last setting so I can’t “resume” but it is on. ---

And the fact thst it is “on” has no effect whatsoever unless and until you push “set”. ---

It stays on in my 1999 Honda Civic (with no memory of the last setting); it turns off in the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country. My hunch is that turning off is now the standard thing - maybe even by regulation. ---

It has no memory of the last setting so I can’t “resume” but it is on. That’s what Ray said, the switch may still be in the ON position, but it’s not turned on, otherwise resume would work, you have to press SET again. ---

> [@old\_mopar\_guy](#): > > And the fact thst it is “on” has no effect whatsoever unless and until you push “set”. That is why my post is “Somewhat Wrong”. > [@It\_s-Me](#): > > That’s what Ray said, the switch may still be in the ON position, but it’s not turned on, That is not what Ray said. My CC and the one in my wife’s Ford Edge can be turned off, so that “set” does nothing. In my wife’s car the CC will be OFF after turning the car off, but not the Camaro. OFF and “not engaged” are different things. Ray said it will be OFF. ---

On the vehicles that I have/had in the last few year, when you turn the ignition off, the CC turns off… 96Chevy truck, 06 Corolla, 04 Infinity I35, 17 Corolla… Most of my vehicles if not all of them the CC turned off with the ignition, but I have seen a few vehicles that the CC stayed on, no memory, but on… And I use CC all the time (if available)… It does what the manufacture designed it to do, not what someone says it does… lol
