Drive settings reset when vehicle turned off

[DH1255]

I've had a DH Genesis 3.8 for a few months and for a refined vehicle I'm really surprised by the way a few settings do not save.

These are:

• Drive mode (defaults to normal)
• Autohold (defaults to off)
• Cruise control enabled (defaults to disabled)

Could I get confirmation that this is normal and others have the same experience? Are there ways to have these settings remembered, or have different defaults?

I usually drive short distances, so having to toggle this stuff every time I get in the vehicle is tiring.

Thanks
Tom

Sorry to learn of your great fatigue. Your vehicle is performing normally.

Drive mode defaults to how it was tested for EPA mileage. Write to your congressman to change it. It will stay in ECO though.
Never had a car that the CC stayed on once the car was shut off.
Auto Hold will put the parking brake on for you when you shut down so that makes you equal in button pushing at the end of the trip.

Thanks for the insight, I was expecting some legality is why it works this way, even for the Australian market in my case.

Good suggestion regarding auto hold and the parking brake, I hadn't picked up on that!

I've driven Honda's for many years and they have physical click in/out buttons from the cruise control, so yes, I'm accustom to it always being ready to go.

Cheers
