Default No Link to drive mode option

I'm going nuts! I just purchased a 2016 1LT. It's stuck on the hockey stick display. I want to change it. I've watched youtube videos, read the manual, and searched the forum. I have no link to drive mode option and can't change the gauge cluster. What do I Do?

On the steering wheel right hand control push the left button and that should put you in a column to the left of the displays. Use the down button to move the selector down to settings and then use the center select button or right button to select settings. Once in settings use the Down button move to the Display selection (it will say display) and then use the right button to move to your selection of displays. You will have a choice of: Link to Driving Mode, Tour, Sport, Track. Choose what you want and you should be ready to go. The Heads up Display is selected using the HUD switches to the left side of the IP and steering column.

I leave my Z06 setup on Tour Mode as it provides the most detailed and legible instrument readings in digital format to the right of the speedo/tach read out. On a Stingray that isn't quite as useful since you have a coolant temp gauge on the lower right which is a boost gauge on the Z06. The Tour display is the only display on the Z06 that includes coolant temp. Again it is also easier to read than any of the others.
