"08 Cruise Control hates to Resume

No, don't bother with service. What you describe is how it's designed to work. This is another example of our legal system at work. Toyota makes the cruise control forget its setting if you slow down too much, probably to avoid unexpected acceleration when you re-engage it. It's dumb, but they don't want to get sued.

Is that true? I thought it forgot if you dropped below 25MPH/40KPH.

 

My BMW is exactly the same - so it is not just Toyota.

Don't exaggerate the impact - it is hardly much of an inconvenience.

Inconvenience is subjective; it's like telling me the sky isn't as blue as I see it, but then I'm arguing a point that makes no difference to me: I don't find the cruise control hard to use. I do object to the intrusion of lawsuit madness into common sense. It's the same reason that the NAV controls are locked out while the vehicle is in motion, and that rock climbing is illegal on state land in Kentucky. Our overly litigious society is removing personal responsibility from the realm of everyday life. Everything has to be wrapped in padding with soft rounded corners, and we all have to be protected from ourselves for fear we might do something really stupid. I'm not exaggerating the impact of that, and it is an inconvenience.

No, like said before, once the speed is lower than 25 km/h than the set speed, it forgets the setting. I thing it isn't a bad thing, çause when you had to lower the speed for over 25 km/h, it could mean that traffic conditions have changed .

 

Glad I came across this thread. The resume on my 04' is hit and miss....or so I thought! Guess it's a safety feature. Glad to know it's working the way it's supposed to...... I guess? My older vehicles (99 Olds, 95' Buick, 03 BMW) all keep the set speed "memory" even after stopping at a stop sign, only resetting if I turned the cruise off, or turned off the ignition. The forum is and endless source of information!

 

For what it's worth, my Gen 1 was like that, and totally forgot the setting when the speed went below the minimum. Based on this thread, I infer Gen 2 was the same.

My Gen 3 is different, and remembers the last set speed, until the car or cruise is turned off.
