Default Saved Sport settings on GTS?

Hey everyone,

I am slowly learning the ins and outs of my new Panny, unfortunately it did not come with the car manual, so I am learning as I go. I noticed that when I first drove the car, it always started up in Sport plus/sport exhaust setting. I had to grab an early morning flight this week, so I turned that off prior to starting the car up, and now, no matter if I turn the car off in sport plus mode or not, it always defaults back to non sport settings upon return to the car. How do I get the car to stay in the setting that it was in when turned off?

Also, I noticed that when I engage auto-highbeams, there does not seem to be a way to turn them off. Pushing forward on the light stalk just engages highbeams. Not a big concern from my end, but I was curious how to disengage.

So far I am loving the car, made the trip from Atlanta to Milwaukee this week and it was the most comfortable road trip I have ever done, the cooled seats are the best I have seen so far. I can already tell this black color is going to drive me nuts though!

Thanks in advance for any help on the above questions.

Kevin

When you engage auto high beams, you push the stalk forward. If you push it forward again, the high beams are constantly on. To disengage high beams all together, pull back on the stalk once in the constant on mode. That should turn them off. My car starts in non sport mode and I have to turn on the mode I want each time. Even if I turn the car off in Sport or Sport plus, it is in non Sport wen it is turned back on.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I found out the car defaults to non sport mode, but it will keep the suspension setting that the car was in when turned off. Thanks also for the high beam info. Still lots to learn on the car. I do wish there was a quick Surround View button, but I haven't seen anything on that outside of the programable button on the multifunction wheel.
