That setup and locking it in was the first thing I did to our then-new 2017, now a year ago and I forget how I did it.

If instead you turn that off then you can select one "scene" (Tour, Sport or Track) which is displayed in all Drive Modes.
Next time read more thoroughly and do some experimentation. Teaching a man to fish and all...

Did you bother to read the section about Link to Drive Mode? Apparently not. What you are showing is called Sports Mode. It's active in Tour Mode because Link to Drive Mode is not set. When you set Link to Drive Mode and then go to Tour (or Eco or Weather mode) you'll see the Tour Mode display. When you go to Sport Mode you'll see this mode displayed and when you go to Track Mode you'll see Track Mode displayed. That's what "Link to Drive Mode" means and apparently you have that set.

I'm confused too, with what does what in the center round display. I use the MSRC, (Magnetic Ride Control) round selector on the console for Eco/Sport/Tour/Track/Weather, but know nothing else about it. I'll read the Owners Manual someday if I want to learn about it, but, sometimes folks can quickly zero in and answer Qs, on the forum better than trying to understand the stupid manual written by an idiot in a cubicle somewhere. Besides, not one person here that preaches reading and following approved recommendations contained in the Owners Manual, actually follows or believes in the Owners Manual anyway. Yes, I have an example. 😊

That "T" is the driving mode he is in. As in Economy, Weather, Tour, Sport, Track. Anyway, do the following to link the style you prefer by doing the following. Use the left arrow and go to settings (bottom option).
Then scroll down to Display and choose the right arrow.
You should then have a selection for Auto, Sport, Tour and Track. Or something like that.
Pick the mode you want.
Now go back to the menu on the left (Left arrow twice I believe).
Now arrow up to PERF and select it.
You should have the display looking like you prefer.
Then scroll down to Display and choose the right arrow.

On the steering wheel, press the left arrow to get the menu, arrow down to display, press center button, look at selections select track or sport or whatever you want, select it. Arrow out of menu.

I wasn't being sarcastic.
Not sure why you wasted your time answering.
Evidently you know it all!
Sometimes its good to give a man a fish....satisfying their hunger.....and then teach them to fish. Think about it!
Good luck fishing for the answer on your own.

For example to drive in Tour but use Sport display, as others said go to menu for options I think it’s called and divorce drive mode from display mode. You can then choose Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport or Track but have whichever display mode you like regardless.
Similar to the above you can also go into the radio Settings from the home page, and find the ability to set the exhaust as you like (if you have the NPP upgraded exhaust) so for example you can have track mode all the time like me. :-). Then you can also divorce the steering effort level from the drive mode as well, so say you have can have a stiffer wheel (Track) while driving in softer suspension (Tour) mode.
Hope that helps!

Thanks to my elders here, eboggs and joemessman, I'm willing to try getting familiar with the steering wheel functions on the C7.
I'm new to steering wheel functions every time I drive my various vehicles. My Mercedes Benz, is still a mystery every time I drive it with all it's various functions located on either side of the steering wheel.
The C7's cruise control - I pretty much have got it down, but it doesn't have the 'Coast' function. Every car/truck I've ever owned since 1979 has had the Coast function. Doesn't make sense not to have the button to Coast.
It's not making sense as to why the same function selections are duplicated by the console selector, and steering wheel switches controlling ride. That's confusing.
I came to the conclusion of idiots in cubicles writing product usage instructions as being detached from the process. I'm rather certain none of them own C7s. I'm also rather certain that some professional fishermen, fail miserably as Internet instructors.

About this subject:
"It's not making sense as to why the same function selections are duplicated by the console selector, and steering wheel switches controlling ride. That's confusing."
The console selector puts you in one of five driving modes as in: economy, weather, tour, sport, and track. That effects your magnetic ride, throttle progression, steering, etc.
The buttons on the steering wheel are for how your driver information center appears, or looks. For Auto, Sport, Tour and Track. Auto will tie you to different display looks in when you are in Sport, Tour and Track. You can change as I stated in an earlier post to default to one those views regardless of what mode you are in. Confused enough? Just kidding.

If you push the right wheel selector left and go down to setting and then thumb down you're see a selection for 'mode' or 'display' or scenes, something like that. Select Right and you'll see a dropdown of selections. Top one is Link to Driving Mode. You can select another mode to lock that mode in so whatever driving mode you select you'll have the same instrument cluster. 'Viola!

OK.......thanks for the help Pdiddy.👍
Coast, to me, and all my other than Mercedes' going back to and including my new 1977 C3, should coast as you hold the button in. Then, upon release Sets at that lower speed. The C7, doesn't work that way - it cancels the cruise control. Resume, should reinstate your previous speed setting. I'm going to have to re-work the C7 cruise control buttons. Resume, with an M7, may be a disaster recovering the previous speed setting. I'm pensive about using cruise. Yes,, I realize that tapping the brake pedal disables, but doesn't turn Off, the cruise control module.

Pretty damn judgmental about somebody and something you really don't know anything about.
When you say "not one person" you're gonna need a lot more than an example. I actually follow and believe in what the Owners Manual says and just being one person who does kills your "not one person" qualification.

Manual in one thread, then uses the Owners manual as Gospel in the next thread. In one thread, it's Religion, then thrown out the window in the next thread. If you haven't noticed that, you're not very observant.

Thanks to all of you in assisting. Had this car 5 mo. now and had no idea. The manual is vague at best, you would think it would clearly walk you through the steps to change the display. I thought the Mode Select was the only means of controlling the display. All figured out now, very happy to have figured this out. Great forum!
