Default Competitive Mode

Was reading that when you get your car into competitive mode it should show up somewhere on the DIC saying Competitive Mode. Is this true and where exactly should I be seeing it. I see both lights come on showing that the Traction Control is off and StabiliTrack is off as indicated by both indicator lights being on. But I don't see anywhere on the DIC where it states Competitive Mode...

It's a 2014 3LT A6 Coupe

I think you need to be in track mode to.. It should light up for a few secs on your dash DIC.

Yes, I was in Track Mode. My question is where exactly will it light up on the DIC. I did it several times but never saw any indicator for Competitive Mode on the DIC so now I am wondering if mine is not working correctly or if I may not be doing something exactly right.

A notice appears briefly on the drivers display for it seems about 1-2 seconds after you press the driving mode selector twice quickly with traction control turned off in Track Mode. If you are not looking directly at the correct spot on the display you will not be able to read the complete message I had to put it in competitive mode a few times to read the message since by the time I would start to read it the message telling you it is in this mode is gone before i could read what it says.
