Sport Mode Indicator

OK to driveTypically Amber, Red, or White on the dash

Sport drive mode is selected — sharper throttle, later shifts, heavier steering. Informational only.

What it means

Confirms the powertrain and (on some cars) chassis are in their aggressive calibration: throttle response is sharper, gears hold longer, and steering weights up. Fuel economy drops while it's on.

Can you keep driving?

Yes — purely informational.

What to do now

  1. 1

    Nothing required. Switch back to normal/comfort for economy driving.

  2. 2

    Expect firmer shifts and higher revs — that's the mode working, not a fault.
