The answer is yes. There are the 2 star buttons which can be set; I have one in drive mode and one in regen mode. Hopefully on a software update they might revert to your setting choice remaining in the boot up memory … we live in hopeI am puzzled about this situation myself tbh ?.
We have only owned the S5 less that a week, after coming from the ZS EV.
The re-gen settings I liked where, drive mode NORMAL and MAX re-gen.
Once set the car remembered this each and every boot up, great !.
The S5 defaults are NORMAL ( fine ) and re-gen level LOW which is a bit weak for me.
I thought, I will set it too HIGH and I like that, problem is of course, when I reboot the car again, it returns too LOW !.
Question :- Can one of the buttons on the steering wheel be set up to bring up the re-gen modes, if so, is this difficult to do please ?.
Thanks @Jer this sounds like a good work around for the time being, is it a difficult process to assign the buttons ?.The answer is yes.

In ‘Driving Control’ I have set up Drive mode ‘Custom’ and clicked Power ‘Eco’ and Steering ‘Normal’; that is all you can set in Drive Mode ‘Custom’Thanks @Jer this sounds like a good work around for the time being, is it a difficult process to assign the buttons ?.
Bit of a faff if you are jumping in and out of car a lot, having to swipe down to select your “custom settings” then fiddling with the buttons to select your desired re-gen / drive mode ?.
Brill - I would be fine with a NORMAL drive mode setting right now, until I get more time behind the wheel of course.In ‘Driving Control’ I have set up Drive mode ‘Custom’ and clicked Power ‘Eco’ and Steering ‘Normal’; that is all you can set in Drive Mode ‘Custom’
You can do it 2 waysBrill - I would be fine with a NORMAL drive mode setting right now, until I get more time behind the wheel of course.
Can this be changed stored and saved as the default every time you boot up by the method you have used above ?.
Or do I have to assign a button on the steering wheel and then scroll through every boot up ?.
Thanks.
I got a similar response from my brother when I put it in Sport mode and accelerated out of a 30mph limit during the test driveOPD requires a LOT of foot control and a lot of practice.
I tried it on the test drive, because I had never had it before.
After nearly splatting my wife against the inside of the windscreen on its first use, I decided it was going to taking some time to master the beast !.
At least we know the seat belt works then.
"What are you doing" was the cleaned up version of what my wife thought of OPD.
You should Dave - But I would experiment with it, when there is only you in the car.I will give it another go soon
