Eco -- 1% (don't drive enough at steady speeds to justify it)
Weather -- 2% (I'm not suicidal in heavy rain)

Jeez, I didn't realize that you can set each parameter to something different. I'll have to get back into the Owner's Manual. Mine is a daily driver and I always run in Sport, with Traction Control turned off. But now after reading this post, I'm not sure what specific parameter is in Sport and what is not. It's a 3LZ, 7M.

ROOF!!! LOL.Also...I just figured out that you can pin the display setting. So happy that I can have in Track while suspension is in Sport.
By the way "A8 Full Auto" mad me laugh. I am going to refer to it that way from now on.

The "Traction" Mode affects traction control, suspension firmness, throttle response, and differential.
If you have exhaust, steering, and DIC set to change to defaults then they will line up with that mode.
Clever guys like us adjust and pin them separately.
What an amazing machine.
