Default Default Drive Mode

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make my car stop going back to Tour mode after each restart. I drive mostly in sport, park it and turn it off in sport, come back to the car to drive it again, and it's in tour. Every once in a while it retains the setting. Might be that it retains the setting if there is very little time between drives.

Please see if page 5-46 of the 2015 owner's manual will help. The section dealing with Driving Mode, Engine Sound Management, and Steering settings.

That would allow me to default the exhaust to whatever I want, but not the overall driving mode.

I don't own the car yet, but I know in general that the cars that have dynamic driving modes cannot alter the default setting due to compliance with the EPA / Monroney rules. The MPG was likely calculated in Tour mode so the car must retain that default to comply.

Make sure that it is in "Sport" mode when you press "Driver 1" or "Driver 2" to save your settings and it will save it there.

Mine starts in Sport mode every single time. But then I trained it to do that.
