If you have Active Handling here is how it works
1. When you start your car all systems are on.
2. Push Active handling button once to turn off Traction Control (Rear Tires) and Active Handling (Slidding uncontrollably)
3. Push active handling button for 5 secs (hold it down) and get Competitive driving. You don't lose Active Handling but lose traction control and the ability to spin your rear wheels.
There is no reason to drive in #2 unless you are racing on a track and a professional driver.
