Stuck in Tow Mode

[DeonKrause]

I have never used tow mode, I've had this two weeks, all of a sudden it's on and can't remove it.

I've reset the infotainment car on and off, and still when I start the car it's on.

The tow hole has no obstructions or anything.

My first Ev and I'm seriously regretting the decision as the one tire is abnormal with low pressure but I've pumped it multiple times and I can't reset the tire settings with the new dashboard.

Anyone any assistance that can help? With the Tow Mode especially as this influence driving.

Have you set the car to READY state (i.e. pressed the brake pedal) before trying to toggle this setting?

Would the car be on or off for this?

Took hours and reddit to solve this.

Switched it off and before it switched itself back on again, I powered the car down.

Switched on and it still showed it was on but when you start again, it's fixed.

The car is only fully off when you've got out and locked it. It is partially on when you unlock it, more on when you open the door, fully on when you sit on the seat (the equivalent of pressing a Start button), and ready to go after you have pressed the brake pedal ... it is this last step that needs to be taken before making any setting adjustments (e.g. turning off LKA, and I think Tow Mode also requires this state before it will properly accept any changes).

I think this was the solution all along

This car doesnt have resetting button for tyre pressure. You just have pump and drive a little bit. It recalibrate itself. From the other side, in my car, pressure probes now installed in opposite. Front wheels pressure shows as rear and vise versa. In my cars tyres was replaced and i have no idea that this fault came from factory or from dealer.

Whoever changed the tyres has put the wheels back on the wrong corners - at least front to back. (The TPMS sensors are coded to each corner, so when a wheel is relocated and it gets a pressure loss it will report on screen as being the corner it was originally coded to, and not where it physically is).

Who replaced the tyres?

That happened to me when I had the all-season tyres fitted. By my own local garage. I had a short word and they fixed it.
