If the vehicle is in Tour or Sport Mode when the engine is turned off, Driver Mode Control will come on in Tour Mode at the next ignition cycle.
If the vehicle is put in AWD Mode, it will remain in AWD through future ignition cycles, until a different mode is selected. When AWD Mode, the light will come on in the AWD indicator below the MODE switch. The indicator light will turn off when Tour Mode is selected.
Look in Owner's Manual for more specific information on the operating system for each vehicle.
