Set the car to start in Auto HV/EV Mode?
The car (edit: NX450h+) always starts in EV mode but I prefer "Auto HV/EV" Mode.
The two modes are basically the same except in Auto the engine will kick in when I put my foot down. In EV mode it tries to stay in EV mode, which is fine most of the time... But I like the boost from the engine sometimes.
I couldn't find anything in the settings but maybe there is a way to change it through the OBD port or something?

The car is automatically set to auto and the computer will decide when to turn the engine on.
When you press the EV button it will try to drive in EV mode, if battery permits, but I have not been able to do that often.
The EV light on dash only indicates that the car is being moved using electric motors and not gas, but not your set mode.
IF you have it in Sport and HVAC is on, it might start in Gas

Do we have the same car? The car always starts in "EV Mode" as indicated by the light in the top right of the dash. There is a second light in the bottom left, it's a car with the letters "EV", which indicates that the car is currently driving in EV and the engine is off.
No matter how hard I press the accelerator pedal in EV Mode, the car will not turn the engine on. The EV Indicator stays on. The only times the engine has come on in EV mode is when I have gone over 135kmh, it's really cold, or the windshield defogger is turned on.
When I press "Auto EV/HV" near my shifter, it generally stays in EV but will kick the engine on when I demand power.

Recently I have notice the engine turned on for short time. Possible it's cycling through the gasoline and engine oil.

Did you ever find out how to start in Auto HV/EV mode?
Thanks!
