Sport Mode/Suspension

When you change drive modes, does it show a little picture of the car on the infotainment screen that highlight the changes? My 5.0 Ultimate shows the steering wheel and shock towers turning red. Not sure if other models show it as well.

Yep, we get the same thing on the 3.8. Not so sure about the shock towers, but otherwise, exactly the same.

I noticed the same on my 2015 - been driving it for four years in normal mode. Recently started having issues with "wandering" in my steering - both left and right - I switched over to sport mode and it made a HUGE difference - still not normal, but feels tighter and def. have more control! Dealership and myself are trying to figure out why my car suddenly started doing this. It's also sticking slightly when in a turn on the highway - kinda freaky alongside a semi and the steering sticks. Still digging into what's going on!

Sounds like lane keep assist is taking over on you, what state is LKA in?

Whenever I have my genesis is sports mode do I have to switch over to manual ?

No. Manual mode is just for playing, but it shifts faster in auto. It will also shift faster in Eco mode rather than Sport.

LOL. I have gotten my best 0-60mph time(4.6 seconds) in ECO mode when using my Sprint Booster. Eco mode gives the best launches probably due to how quick it upshifts which reduces wheelspin in 1st gear.
