No, OK, that's news to me. Interesting. I was sure it didn't, but I'll accept your say-so. I always put it back to mymode so maybe I just assumed.If you shut off the car in Z-Mode before turning it to Sport Mode, then yes. My car stays in Sport mode 99.5% of the time and when I restart the engine from Sport Mode it restarts in Sport Mode. Yours doesn't do this?
