Default Factory Settings ??

So I can't get the settings TOUR ,TRACK etc to go back to the settings ( not settings font type) I have been using for 6 years. What are the "factory settings" seen on the screen?

I always keep the settings on TOUR the other day I played around with the TC button and scrolled thru to Track wet dry etc when I went back to the previous settings the TOUR and other settings were different sizes smaller. I haven't been able to get back to settings that I have been using since I got the car. All are different size and the TRACK is Tr now. I'm trying to get to the original settings when the fonts were bigger

A pic would help. For reference, the icons in the DIC should read as follows:

Tr....for Track
S....for Sport
T....for Tour

Left side of steering wheel.
Toggle Left.
Toggle down, I think its called Info or maybe Settings, or maybe Display, at bottom.
Play with it.

the ‘horn blow’ is in Settings on the touch screen [not the steering wheel].
you’ll see Many different things that you can customize from Settings.
also, try owners manual, even though it’s tedious.

You may want to spend some quality time with your manual - lots of good information there.

Electronic versions of the Owner's Manuals are here.

You upload pictures from your computer following the instructions in the link below:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-pictures.html

It's as easy as using a wrench to tighten a nut. Computers are simple to use. They are very difficult to program so nontechnical people can use them with ease.

So I got the settings back to my original ones. Even the beep when the door closes. Until I figure out about the Drive settings I'll just keep moving on. There are 2 '15a around my area maybe I'll find them one day and compare The car does ride "smoother" I think than it did with this TOUR setting next week we're gonna do the Mag Ride upgrade. Thanks everybody for your patience when helping me

OK Beating a dead horse last night I was watching one of the many posts on YOU TUBE explaining how to set up the DIC etc I saw that the driving mode displayed was the same size I've been unable to get back. So something is wrong. On the other hand in TOUR now the car seem to drive smoother something is different. Isn't there a GM number that's available to answer questions about Gm cars? Actually no one knows this car better than the folks that are on the forum.

Driving me crazy not being able to fix this thing
