If you are turning it OFF, it turns off active handling and traction control both at the same time. If you turn to competitive driving, active handling will still help but traction control is off.

There are 3 modes 1) Traction Control Off, Active handling Off 2) Traction Control On, Active handling On 3) Competitive Driving = Traction Control Off, Active Handling On Traction Control (TCS) This limits wheel spin by working the rear brakes and reducing engine power.TCS comes on automatically when you start the car.If it engages (i.e. if you start spinning the wheels and it kicks in to reduce spin), the DIC shows TRACTION SYS ACTIVE (momentarily)To toggle TCS on or off, press the Active Handling button on the center console briefly. This will also toggle the Active handling System in conjunction with TCS. The DIC will briefly display "TRAC/ACT HNDLG -ON" or "TRAC/ACT HNDLG -OFF".If it is OFF, then the skidding-corvette-rear-end light (TCS light on the instrument panel) is ON.Active Handling System Active Handling helps maintain directional control by selectively applying any one of the vehicles brakes. (The video has an interesting segment on this feature)Active Handling comes on automatically when you start the car.If it engages to regain vehicle control, the DIC says "ACTIVE HANDLING" (briefly).If you turn the Active Handling System Off, the traction control system will also be turned off. It is toggled on or off the same way the TCS system is toggled (see above)If it is OFF, then the skidding-corvette-rear-end light (TCS light on the instrument panel) is ON.Competition Mode: Competitive Driving mode allows the driver to have full control of the rear wheels while the Active Handling system helps steer the vehicle by selective brake application.When on, the DIC displays "COMPETITIVE DRIVING"To turn on Competition Mode, press the Active Handling button on the center console for more than 5 seconds.To turn it off, press the button briefly. Does the active handling/traction control then turn ON?The manual states that ABS remains on with the traction control and Active Handling Systems off. I assume this means it also remains on when in Competitive Driving mode? - See more at: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/....jbZTVUq3.dpuf
