Default Competition Mode DIC Message

When I am in Competative Driving mode (04 A4) the message "Competative Driving" is locked in the DIC. If I push Reset to see the other gauge settings on the DIC, I no longer have any indication that I am still in Competative Driving.

Does any one know for sure if pushing the gauge reset button resets the the Competative Driving to full traction control or if you remain in Competative Driving until again pushing the console traction control button.

Thanks

Doesn't your yellow light stay on, on the dash? Or is that just for active handling?

Once in Competitive Driving mode, you stay in that mode until either you hit the traction control botton again, or you turn the car off. Pressing the reset button only gets rid of the message, you are still in Competitive Driving mode.

Easy way to find out...push the reset button and then floor it.

Just get on the gas a little hard to make sure though.
