Default Sport mode not available message

Hi all,

2012 pan 4s with about 84k miles. I press sport or sport plus and the message pops in sport mode not available. I have been trying to search online what this relates to but haven't been able to find anything. I could just take it to the shop but wanted to see if anyone would know.

I am able to drive the car on comfort mode but feels little sluggish and short of power. I did push it a little using manual and going up the rpm to see if I could bring out some kind of fault code but nothing .Obd machine doesn't read anything, no warning lights on dash.

Also get a crunching noise when cruising. When this happens the rpm are a little unstable and go down a bit and try to go up. Not sure if this was due to worn out spark plugs which i changed this weekend .haven't taken the car out yet though .



​​​​​​Any feedback on that sport mode ?

Could be a coil pack.

Sounds like limp mode.

Could be many things. What you describe is for sure not normal. I’d take it in for a service check. Could be plugs or coils. Could be electronically off and needing a recalibration. Maybe a fluid change would help. Start simple before you freak out but definitely don’t ignore it.
