Default Traction Control Question???

How can you tell when you are in "Competitive Driving
Mode"? Everyone says to hold the TC button down for 5 to 10 seconds while parked to activate it but how do you know when it's on? Is there a message on the DIC? Thanks.....

IF your car is cabable of going into this mode the DIC will read COMPETITIVE DRIVING when it is activated. Many older C5's can not go into Competeive mode.

COMPETITIVE MODE turns Traction Control OFF & leaves Active Handling ON.
