Owners Manual explains it but not completely; Both TC and AH are full on when you start the car. You have a choice of 4 modes;
Full on. (do nothing)
First press and release of the button = DIC states "TC Off"
Second press and release of the button = DIC states "Comp. mode" (TC Off, AH reduced interference).
OR; Just hold the button for aprx. 10 seconds and the DIC states "TC and AH OFF". No TC and No AH.

Second press and release of the button = DIC states "Comp. mode" (TC Off, AH reduced interference).
OR; Just hold the button for aprx. 10 seconds and the DIC states "TC and AH OFF". No TC and No AH.
The Settings:
Default – All On.
Idiot proof: the computer assumes you're an idiot and acts accordingly.
1 Push – TC Off.
The computer still assumes you're an idiot; but, now it lets you demonstrate that fact in a straight line.
2 Pushes – Competition Mode.
TC off and AH reduced. The computer assumes that you think you know what you're doing and only steps in after you prove that you don't.
Hold for 5 seconds – All Off!
The computer now knows you're an idiot; but, since you've proven you can read either the owners manual, or an internet forum, and you've demonstrated the patience and persistence required to hold a button down for 5 seconds, it reluctantly allows you to attempt to drive the car all by yourself.

Guys, not to worry, believe me I can handle the car. I made 1022 rwhp to the wheels on pump gas. The 101 mil turbo is barely working at this boost level. I can handle the car. the problem is all this bull**** active handling keeps coming on. My button only does one thing shuts traction control off does nothing to active handling no matter how many times pressed. We have tried shutting it down with hp tuners and no luck.

In addendum to the already stated, and w/o offending individual choices as tailored to personal driving preferences, find the following conditions of each attribute as noted and humorously summarized by a forum member from another posting.

i am curious though, has there been an option that is proven to be better over another at the dragstrip

He says that it only does 1 THING NO MATTER how many times it is pressed. Something is wrong with that. Everyone is telling him the same thing about pressing the button a few times BUT if you read his post IT STATES NO MATTER how many times I press the button IT ONLY DOES 1 THING.

Hey Peter,
I'm taking a long shot but you say that it ONLY DOES 1 THING and when I was running aftermarket 18" rims WITHOUT the sensors in them the car wouldn't go into Competition Mode after the computer loses contact with them. I kept the stock tires in the garage and the car would recognize the sensors when I pulled back in the garage but if I went away on a 2-3 day trip the computer would not be able to find the sensors after many hours into the trip and I would get a XX readout for rear tire pressure for BOTH tires.

That was my 1 response to the problem and didn't hear back if that worked. I was just guessing at it being that my car had no sensors in it too.

Charming proposal for an idiot. Why not furthermore – in the interest of advocating complete control – hand the idiot a gun with the option of disengaging the "safety" as well?

Don't use it if you can't control it, Darwin 101. If you are not a fan of Darwin, blame that on the devil or something. Nothing like natural selection to eliminate the idiots.

Incidentally, insomuch as your reasoning typifies the effects of somebody in the early stages of still learning to write with crayons, you may want to consider the benefits of enrolling into an introductory course in Humanities 101 to further complement your Darwinistic heritage.
Moreover couldn’t help notice your earlier posting – herein "reference," evidently suggestive of an obviously personal difficulty regarding technological advancements and the lack of faculty to such issues, whereby blaming tools (fobs; system software) rather than acknowledging and/or recognizing your ineptitude to their proper usages. Most amusing indeed.

Coming from someone who bought a sports car and cant control it? That's real assurance.
As far as the key issue, maybe you need to talk to NHTSB about a bug in the system on the Corvette. In normal situations, car will unlock its doors if the key is in the cup holder. Yet when there are two keys in there, the system will somehow flip and lock the doors. Rather than sitting and complaining, I actually found out why it happened. Maybe the next time the car breaks loose, perhaps you should see why it happened....

Neither have noted – anywhere, nor had such problems of control and/or experiences as you so allude to regarding said – breaking loose. Your inferences at best are baseless remarks/ramblings skewed by assumption and misdirected. Also, unlike yourself, have no need to speak to the NHTSB for the lack of such a personal problem.

Kids my age are doing just fine without stability control. I suggest you take your head out of the sand and learn how to drive. Chevy Aveo is always an option for you.

That's because you don't drive fast enough to enjoy the full experience? If a design flaw is a personal problem, then your lack of ***** to go without the stability control on might be one too. I

Had hoped you’d have rewakened a bit prudent to your activities and thoughts herein this thread. Suggest you revisit your positions – begin with #28 and your unwarranted and unprovoked attack whereby denigrating others for personal preferences, then reevaluate your self-absorbed foolishnesses along the thread. Your remarks are petty, senseless, and unworthy of any furtherance by intelligent reply.

If your sensors are tuned out through HP tuner it is probably causing some issue with the system. You should be able to turn the system completely off by holding the button down for 5 seconds or more.

The main reason for having Active Handling on the vette was to protect the rest of us from arrogant wise guys like you that "KNOW" they're in complete control. Too bad you figured out how to turn it off ...

How fast do you freaking drive on the street to be in constant danger? Rather than fixing the problem (driver), you put band-aid fixes to keep drivers from driving like an a$$hole. How does that make sense?
My comment wasn't meant to be rude, more like reality check. Why buy a sports cars if you don't explore the limits or drive it like the way it should, you might as well save the environment and get yourself a Prius. Don't be telling people to run the stupid traction control simply because you can't control the car. My first track day on my C6 was in a heavy downpour with no stability control, I didn't crash. I simply slow down and drove with my brains. This is almost like the people who want to lower the speed limit now in the name of safety, yet they can't create better drivers and drive more fuel efficient cars. It makes no sense, band-aid fixes are not the way to go. Get in a local car club and start with some autox before you move to the track, so sick of seeing people riding their cars from one car show to another and teaching others how to drive their car.
Sorry if i offend anyone, no one specific.
