Sport Mode Automatic On Start?
Might be a dumb question, but I recently purchased a SR and I drive in Sport Mode 90% of the time. Is there any way to have it in Sport Mode by default? Not a big deal to just press the button but just curious if anyone knows how to do this...
Thanks!
Thanks!

I know that on most other cars that have a sport mode, once the car is turned off, it automatically defaults back to normal. I would assume the maxima is the same way. Cars with these options always need to have a default mode set from the factory in the software and most all companies choose this default to be the standard mode.

Out of curiosity, in what situations do you use the sports mode? I've liked it on all the 4-cyl sedans that I've tested, but the Maxima's engine feels so overpowered that I haven't found an opportunity to use sports in regular driving.

I've also been waiting for any type of ECU tuning to be released for this vehicle. I'm sure it will come sooner than later.

Your analogies don't make sense. When you are driving and you listen to a specific radio station and set your climate control to a specific temperature, the car remembers these settings when you turn it off and back on. The original poster is just asking if the car can also remember if it was last set to sport mode and keep that setting. I wish that was an option.

I agree no default is necessary, but it would have been nice if Nissan made the switch as a rocking toggle switch so it stays on whatever setting you pick. For people that drive in sport mode every day, it is silly to have to hit the sport button every time you start the car.

It does seem odd that the last setting isn't remembered. I had a 2013 Mercedes C250 coupe with the sport package before this Maxima SR and it was the same way. Every time I restarted the car it would return to "normal" mode.
