I was driving on Sport mode and switch back between comfort, eco, back to comfort, and sport. Nothing... After pissing everyone off in the road, I pulled over. Shut off the car and it seemed to fix it. I drove around the house and couldn't replicate the issue. Any idea on how to check for fault codes and what should I look for? I would to take it to the dealer, but I'm currently living in Germany with a U.S. specs car. I'm sure I'll have a hard time with the language barrier, trying to explain the issue... The car is just at 3,000 miles, very disappointing...
Assuming the fault condition no longer exists, to clear the fault code.

1) Launch C:\EDIABAS\Bin\TOOL32.EXE
2) Hit F3
3) Load C:\EDIABAS\Ecu\F01.PRG
4) In the "Select Job: F01" window, select FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL
5) Hit F5
6) "Results" window should show "JOB_STATUS = OKAY"

Hopefully, Problem Solved.

Note: fs_lesen_funktional only read fault codes, FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL will delete it.
