Need Help Please! ASAP with Sport Mode

here is what happened today
I usually drive the car in sport mode, much more fun to drive
As of this morning, car only wants to be in comfort mode
I used to be able to change modes at any time, stopped or driving
Now I can only put it in sport mode when fully stopped and
as soon as I start to drive, in about 20-30 feet, it automatically
goes back in to comfort mode.

Is there some button I pressed accidentally that does this?
Has this happened too anyone else?
Anyone know how to reverse this feature so I can use sport mode again?

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

From a technology interlock perspective, is there anything that you've changed about your suspension that could be triggering a "do not engage" signal for the mode selection? Do you have any yellow warning triangles in Menu => Vehicle Information?

I put springs four+ months ago
I changed my rims again a fee weeks ago without
putting tpms in so a small warning comes in every time I start the car but that shouldn't do it!
at least not this long after the fact

I was just going to ask if you have any warning about low tire pressure? If you do, the car defaults to comfort as it assumes you should not be driving in a sporty fashion with tires that are not properly inflated. Once you get that fixed, you can enjoy sport mode again.

I've noticed that as well. IN fact when I was in Ecopro mode and the car detected a low tyre, the car defaulted to comfort.

Have the tpms reinstalled or buy new ones and it will go away

Had them reinstalled and the issue still happened. Bought some new ones and all good to go.
