    Well, it doesn't do anything - but it does drain a little power and engages the cruise control ON...so yeah, I would turn it off when not in use - there's a off/on button for a reason!

    cruise control is not actually ON when u have it on, its only when u set it with the button on ur steering wheel, and honda_enthuasiast i'd like to know how a cruise control drains power????
    in the end its a stupid question because why dont u just reach there and turn it off? if ur too lazy why dont u do it once when u reach for the sunroof switch? lol

    Well, it drains power because it's literally ON... you can't say it doesn't use a bit of power at all... I got a VOLT gauge in my car and with it turned on, it does move up a bit, I've noticed... but no much though....

    Yeah, I normally just turn it off... sometimes don't... hi hi

    its ok to leave it on all the time

    the worst thing that can happen it the little globethat is in the switch will blow.

    The reason its switchable is for safety, incase you accidentially press SET and plow into the cop car ahead lol.

    Not likely. Your speed won't increase, and if the cop brakes hard, your first instinct would be to hit the brakes as well, and that cancels cruise control anyway.

    Well it depends on the circumstance, someone could accidentally press the Cruise Control buttons instead of the Sound Control buttons for example. Having an on/off switch gives some drivers piece of mind.

    Even if they hit the cruise control button, nothing drastic happens. But I prefer to leave it off anyway.
