Default settings for Drive Modes and Brake Hold

[pricergp]

I received my new Maverick in late September (after waiting 725 days) and love it. I also have a '23 MY Toyota sedan. Both vehicles have Drive Modes and Brake Hold. I like both features. On the Maverick, drive modes default to Normal with each start/stop and the brake hold stays where you put it (off or on) through each start/stop. On the Toyota, it is the exact opposite. You have to reset brake hold each time, but it stays in the same drive mode until you change it. I have to think about which vehicle I'm in and remember to reset one or the other in each. It seems to me it would be safer and easier to use if both were standardized across makes of vehicle. I would prefer they stay set until you change them, but consistency is most important. Anyone have thoughts about that?

Thoughts?
Yeah, your idea makes too much sense.

I have a 2018 Hyundai Sonata limited. you have to change everything every time you get in. In the winter it feels like I'm prepping a plane for take off. push this, flip that... etc.. I cant wait for the Mav. some of those things do or should just stay on.

I installed a gadget that sets it to ECO mode(or any mode) EVERYTIME I start the car---SO NICE

I also installed the My Mav Mode to be in Eco mode whenever it starts. Works great and easy to install.

Along these lines, I'm wondering if there is any way to disable all the alerts that come on at start, without having to click OK for each one. It drives me a bit crazy as they don't go away automatically until I hit OK...

If only it cleared the seatbelt pop up too.

Mymavmode can also default auto start/stop to off in EB Mavs.

Agreed....easy options to make for the driver....can't believe these car companies don't care enough to provide them.
