I believe this is true as well…that it only happens when you remote-start the car. I was experiencing the problem intermittently. It wasn’t really a problem for me as I don’t switch modes very often and have Fuse #51 pulled.
But I was curious, so I decided to test a theory. I was thinking the issue was happening because of timing. More specifically, I was thinking that if I remote-started the car before the car was fully awake, it might cause a miss of some of the startup sequence steps and therefore not display the driving mode menu and other associated menus that seem to be missing when this happens.
So, I started following a regular ritual Every time I remote-started my car for the last three weeks. Rather than just hitting the lock button and then hitting the remote start, I would fully unlock the car by hitting the unlock button twice, then I would lock the car with the lock button, then remote start. I ran this test for a good 3 weeks, with flawless results. I have not lost the driving mode once, nor any of the temp settings etc. in that time.
It’s working for me, hope it works for some of you! It’s not a fix, but it really helps avoid an annoying problem consistently.
