2014 simple display sport - mid - green mode

I just traded in my 2006 1st Gen with 102000 miles for a 2014 3rd gen and have a question about the sport-mid-green mode.

I have a base with manual transmission. I don’t have the nice color display like my wife’s 2018 clubman. When I select sport or green mode, I notice a difference in the throttle response, but not a big change. My question is that I don’t see any indication of my chosen driving mode. Is it supposed to say somewhere that I am in sport or green mode?

I found some minor settings to display green mode, but just wondering if I should be seeing something on my dash when I am in mid vs green vs sport. In the 2018 it’s pretty obvious (even if it really doesn’t make much of a difference).

Thanks in advance!

The mode selected should appear in the display in the speedometer.

Not sure why it doesn't seem like much of a difference in the various modes to you. I have Green/mid/sport in two cars, a base and an S and it is night and day different in all three modes. Our base 2016 shows the different modes in the speedo, and the same in my 14.

im wondering if there’s a problem now and it’s not engaging the sport or green. Definitely noticeable in our 2018 clubman.

thanks.

Problem fixed. driving modes were disconnected. Had a great drive home from the dealer in sport mode!

Thanks for your feedback. I'll close the post.

How did the driving modes get disconnected?

Sounds like the little plug under the shifter boot on the selector ring came unplugged. Left mine unplugged once when changing the shifter.
