Default Competitive Driving Mode

I can't get mine to come on and /or activate. The manual say's to have the key in the "ON" position and to hold the traction control button down for 5 sec. I did that and nothing. I have the car running when I do this. Should I just turn the key to the "ON" position, try the setup, and then start the car?
:confused:

I find that it is nearer 10 seconds of button holding before Competitive Driving mode comes on.

If the button says traction control you don't have active handling. it was an option in 2000.

Mine comes on at 7 seconds, day in and day out. I don't put it in neutral, just hold down the clutch...but the car has to be stopped. I forget this a lot when I start out so I have to end up doing it at a red light and it works fine.
