Do you see in the cluster the gear and mode indicated?

a cluster is this
http://i20.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/7f/90/1578_1_b.JPG

And there is the gear indication like D-1-2-3....
and the mode is then E-M-S or E-M, which you can select with the small switch to the right of the gear lever.

If that is not indicated in the cluster, then your system is confused and you have to clean the gear selector switch and the S-E-M switch or whatever your switch has.
