Default Question about "Competition Mode"

When entering "Competition Mode" the DIC indicates such. If you then press "Reset" the message clears. My question is, are you still in "Competition Mode" after hitting "Reset"

As with most of the other messages in the DIC that can be reset, I would have to assume that you're still in "Competition Mode" until you hit the active handling/traction control button again, or turn the car off.

Reset clears the message, but leaves the car in Competitive Driving Mode until you alter that condition by hitting the button on the console or shut the car off. When you restart - the car defaults to Traction Control On, Active Handling On.
