I just went out to the parking lot to test this, as I thought I might have been seeing things
Start car, turn on Competetive Mode, reset DIC message, shut car off. Pulled key, opened and closed door and armed alarm. Got back in the car, started it and it said " Trac/Actv Hndl On".
So the car is smart enough to remind you that it is now on, because the last time the car was running the TC was off.

My '04Z doesn't remind me when I get back in the car that TC / AH are enabled again. Doesn't matter if I run in Competitive or with everything off. Once I turn the car off and turn it back on, it assumes I KNOW everything is back on because the TC light is off and it doesn't display COMPETITIVE DRIVING on the DIC. No reminders at all.

Yeah, what I am saying is that the car displays the fact that the traction control and active handling are on , on the DIC when you start it. It only does this if you had it off when you turned the car off.

Right, so what it is telling you is that your settings have been changed back to default and if you want to turn on comp mode you will have to do it again..
