Corvette Driver Mode Control
April 22, 2014
The different driver modes on the 2014 Corvette provide enhanced performance for different driving conditions by changing the throttle progression, shift mode, steering assist, limited slip differential, ride control, traction control, exhaust sound and other calibrations. There are five driver modes that can be selected using the Driver Mode Control located on the center console (Fig. 13): Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track.









If the vehicle was in Weather or Track mode during the previous drive cycle, it will default to the Tour mode the next time the vehicle is turned on. This is design intent. No repairs should be performed.



It is important to understand that the display themes on the instrument cluster and drive modes are two separate items that can be linked together or selected separately. When linked, the instrument cluster display theme is configured for the selected drive mode — Weather, Eco, Tour modes: Tour theme; Sport mode: Sport theme; and Track mode: Track theme.



If a specific display theme for all drive modes is desired, or to have the display theme change each time a drive mode is changed, use the DIC Settings menu to select Link to Drive Mode – Track, Sport, or Tour for the cluster theme. (Fig. 14)



Regardless of the Display Theme setting, the drive mode will always default to Tour if the vehicle is turned off in the Weather or Track mode.

 

Is there a question or is this a lesson for those who don't read their Owner's Manual?

 

a lot of owners did not seem to understand how the seats work .

 

Can you tell us how the seats (and mirrors) work, then? Mine are inconsistent. Still confused as to how the car knows which fob is which, since the number appears on the key, not the fob, and the fobs could have been switched prior to delivery.

Thanks,

 

What does Driver Mode have to do with seat operation? I didn't see anything about the seat/memory functions in that post.

 

I don't understand the whole thread......

 

It almost sounds like he was trying to answer someone's question and started a new thread instead off clicking on reply.

 

a few weeks ago i posted how the seats work and a lot of people posted they were glad i posted a "cliff notes" about the seats. if you don't need the info just skip it no need to comment.

 

sorry i can't help you out there.

 

Bad comparison, as if you have a M-7 CAR the seat do not work as the owners manual says. So you can read the manual 57 times and try to do exactly what the manual says, but the seats will not work like that.

 

That's OK, my post was just a gentle sarcastic play on your segue.

 

The more I read this thread the more confused I get.
