Default Competitive Driving Mode

When you are in Competitive Driving Mode, you are so informed by the readout in the DIC. If you don't do anything, the DIC readout remains. However, if you hit the reset button, the DIC returns to whatever setting you had before selecting Competitive Driving Mode. My question: When you hit the reset button, and the DIC notice about Competitive Driving Mode disappears, are you still in Competitive mode, or has the reset button returned the AH/TC system to normal as is done when you turn the car off?

Yes, you will remain in CPM until you either hit the AHS button again for re-start the vehicle!

Dave, nice to see you out flexing some of that Corvette knowledge in the general forum My fingers were getting tired trying to keep up with all the Q's I'am sure you have delivered more C6's than Dr Spock, babies and could teach us all a thing or two

You can also tell that it's still on because the idiot light stays on.

Hu? What idiot light... thought the idiot light only comes on if you compeltely turn all handling off or if ya accidentally bump the dimmer switch (yea I had my 2 minutes of looking at the map lights wondering how to turn it off...cursing at them...so I hence nicknamed them the idiot lights)
