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.

:confused:
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.
