DRCC and standard cruise control settings.

This is a "Does anyone know how to?" post.

The mode button on the rhs of the steering wheel allows me to switch between drcc, standard cruise control (non-adaptive) and speed limiter.   I find that, mostly, I prefer the standard, non-adaptive, cruise control and would like this to remain set when the car is switched off.   Annoyingly, the car defaults back to drcc when I re-start.   

OK, it's not a big deal, just requires 2 presses of the mode button to sort (to add to the list...).   However, I have been looking for a setting to change so that the mode stays 'as is' when the car is switched off and back on.   I have failed to find such a setting ☹️.    Anyone any ideas please?

My guess is the default setting when you start the car is what you are stuck with.  May I ask why you prefer standard CC over DRCC?

That would seem to be so, since I can't find any setting to change it and no-one has come up with a solution (but I haven't explored the hidden menu yet...).

As to why...   I do use DRCC sometimes but generally prefer standard CC on this car.   

Partly, it's about how I use it, e.g. I use it on a couple of local roads subject to 30/40 limits and find that the DRCC reacts to parked cars (hits the brakes).   I didn't think that it would/should react to stationary vehicles but sometimes it does.   Now, I know that this may not be an intended use for CC, generally, but the roads in question are subject to frequent speed enforcement and it just suits me to set CC.

Partly, it's because I don't find the DRCC to be particularly smooth, either in braking or acceleration, on faster roads (which is, I would say, its intended use);   and I have changed acceleration to its lowest setting in the DRCC menu.   It works, sure, but I don't find it to be a particularly pleasant experience and, frankly, I can do a lot better myself.   I can also see a lot further ahead, can anticipate, etc., which it cannot do.    So I tend to only set CC when there is minimal traffic, in circumstances where standard CC is fine, and drive 'manually' in other circumstances. 

Just personal preference.
