Hi having had my J12 now 4 moths, how do I get the car to start in sport mode, when I collected from Nissan it was started in sport mode but I have no idea how to do this?

There's a "D mode" control near the gear lever which switches between standard mode, eco mode and sport mode.

Can I recommend the Nissan Driver’s Guide App.
Doesn’t have all the answers but it’s quite handy

Welcome to this forum.

So it appears it can't be left in Sport mode.

Very likely that an hidden procedure to do that would exists ... like in any electronic appliance.

A car can only default to the setting it was emission tested with. There is no override.

Hence normal mode is reverted to at every switch off/on. Exactly the same with all modern cars.
