Hello. I am new to the forum. Can anyone explain what happens exactly when Dynamic mode is selected? Also Sport mode of the transmission as well. I have experimented with both at the track and think I know, but I'm not sure. Thanks. If this has been discussed elsewhere, I would be happy to be re-directed.

 

As a starting point read the owners manual. Then use the search window at the upper right corner of this page. You may find directions to a thread that will respond to your question there. If that doesn't work then you can start a thread asking your question(s) there. In the meantime here are descriptions of the Dynamic Mode and the S Mode:
DYNAMIC MODE
Press to operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience. This
setting enhances key vehicle systems so that
the vehicle's full potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at involving the
driver more in focused and purposeful driving.
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode (i.e. using the
paddles to change gear while in Sport mode)
and Dynamic mode is selected, transmission
upshifts are fully controlled by the driver. The
transmission will not change up automatically,
even when the rev limit is reached (the gear
position indicator in the message center will
glow amber, to indicate

If continued use of manual mode is required,
the gear selector may be subsequently moved
to the S position to enter permanent manual
mode.

The above information is out of the Owner's manual around page 136. You can download the manual by following the instructions in the stickies at the top of the Forum "home" page.

 

In addition to the above, using SPORT mode (with Dynamic) and in Fully Automatic mode can dramatically increase RPM shift points.

 

So you press the "checkered flag" and you get no light...


top 3 reasons are.............

 

Happened to me a couple of months ago, Dynamic mode failure. It was a sensor issue. Though can’t remember what as was fixed under the extended warranty.

 

thnx for the reply..but it was user error on my behalf.

Our FPace has dynamic mode and all you have to do is press it and release it. On the XKRS you have to press it and hold it for a second or two.

All is well,

Thnx anyway.
