You might not have it. Check the glove box for the RPO code. I cant remember off the top of my head which one it is. Someone will chime in. It was an option from 98-00. 01 and up it is standard.

When you say the "ignition is on"....is the car running? Try starting the car, putting it in gear and then doing it without moving.........and yes, the active handling option is, I think, needed ...........

This probably won't help, especially if you do not have the active handling option, but my '04 takes longer than five seconds to go into 'competition mode'; it takes closer to six or seven seconds and the car has to be running. On mine, I can enter 'competition mode' with the car stopped or running.

With what he saidCOMPETETIVE DRIVING mode, means Traction Control OFF, Active Handling ON, SO obviously if your car is not equipped with A/H, you will never find COMPETETIVE DRIVING mode
