competitive driving mode shuts off traction control, but leaves active handling on.
Obviously, if you don't have active handling (skid control), you won't have competitive mode.

Competative driving mode started in 1999 - so, 1998 will only have the on-off for the traction control.

:nono: :nono: :nono: Active Handling was an option on LATE 98's I should know as I have one :yesnod: it will be labeled next to the traction on/off button. you have to hold the button down for 5 seconds but you MUST be at a complete stop for it to engage. (you can be moving when you first hold it but at the end you must be stopped, for 2001 and up you can hold it while moving) Hope this helps :seeya
