Drive Mode Settings Permanence...

How can I get the drive mode settings to stick? Every time I restart my car, the settings go back to default.

Also, how can I make the last drive mode be what is used when I start the car again. It always goes back to "Normal".

Thanks!

You'd have to configure in Individual mode to have settings stick.

By default, the car has to start in Normal mode with settings that meet emission regulations (PSE Activated).

I think you're stuck with normal. I put my preferred settings in Individual and turn the **** full clockwise. OBTW, driving in normal till the temps come up isn't a bad idea. Then twist to your preferred setting.

So that's the main issue... I'm adjusting the settings in "Individual" mode (see photo above), but every time I restart the car, Individual mode has been set back to the default settings with no boxes checked. How do I get them to stick?

There is a three dot options button on that screen where you customize your "Individual" mode. This should save into the system.

^^^^
This here is the magic. It is not intuitive at all in my opinion.

No matter what you do or how you configure any mode, "Normal" is always the default mode, every single time you start the car. Wish it was not so, but it is. I believe one or more of the aftermarket "tunes" allow you to get around this annoyance. However, changing the car's computer software (what tunes do) can often change a value in the computer than your automatic state emissions check will see and will fail the car. Something your Smog Technician can not get around. Even if you return the "tune" to the factory original before the emissions test, this all to often does not reset this value. The only "fix" at this point is to replace the computer. Not fun! Buyer beware, caveat emptor!
