A better description in the Subject line may help. Lots of people on this forum don’t like click bait. (I almost didn’t click).

Sorry but I don’t have a solution to your problem.

sounds like you engaged PTM. I've yet to really figure out all the PTM stuff, the owner's manual is kinda fuzzy on it and what's online isn't much clearer. You should be able to exit PTM and go back to Tour by hitting the center button to re-enable TCS/DSC, then twist the outer ring to navigate back over to Tour from Track. You enter PTM by hitting the TCS button while in Track mode twice within a certain timeframe. If you don't have PTM I think you have a similar thing going on when in Sport or Track mode called "competition driving mode" or some such?

Not sure why anyone needs more than three modes, honestly:
1) keep me safe
2) let me have some fun
3) let me die

It’s possible that it will reset to Tour after shutting off. Or at least restore normal icons.
I’m assuming you have a non-Z51, only a push button to change modes??
Either way, drive a little distance in each mode before changing to another mode.

It is really not a big deal disconnecting your negative battery terminal. Re-do your clock and you're good to go. Try that.

Not trying to be a smart ***, just telling you that some people don’t click on Subjects that either don’t interest them or they don’t click on something that’s vague. Nothing beats a colossal waste of time like clicking on something that says “Check this out help” and it’s a question on how to polish their tail pipes.
