Default Traction Control Question

I have a question...when pushing the traction control button, it goes from off, to competitive, to active handling something or other on...

whats the difference between the last two settings?

"Traction control and active handling on" which is as the name says, "traction control off" which turns off traction control but still has active handling on, and if you press and hold the button for like 8 seconds, it turns both traction control and active handling off. Be careful with this one, a lot of power can get away from you fast, but it is the most fun setting....have fun.

So what's the "Competitive" setting? Is that everything off?

Be careful if you hit corners etc.

Be safe....

Competitive sets AH to a higher level. it will let you be more aggressive but still be there to save your butt.
