Actice Handling/Competition Mode
On a 2001 C5 when you hold down the active handling button for approx 5 seconds the Drvivers Information Center displays the Competition Mode. If you push the active handling button again the systems goes back into the normal active handling mode. The question is - when the D I C says competion Mode does reseting the D I C message reset the system or does the Active Handling button reset the system. I have asked service managers at 4 different dealers and got 2 different answers. I also called GM Assistance and they were comletely confused. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you. :confused:

Have to push the active handling button again. Pushing the reset only clears the message from the DIC.

Reset just resets your DIC, not AH/TC.

Hopefully the C6 will start up in competition mode, that is with traction control OFF. 
Too often I don't bother to turn off traction control and it cuts in around the same time active handling II cuts in. The two systems working can do some strange things when taking a curve quickly.
To my way of thinking traction control should only be used when driving in slippery conditions.

I just installed the TracActive Controller last weekend and its great. It has three modes of operation. You can program it for any of the three at anytime. When I go out to the track it will be OFF for the whole day. :D [/QUOTE]
Great mod!
