Default "Sport" mode on 2011/12?

Read a post somewhere that said you could go into Sport mode on the 11/12 by hitting the traction control button twice then pressing the brake or something like that. Can't find it again but anyone know about or can confirm this?

There is 3 levels.


To turn off all traction control and stabillity control. You must be stopped with your foot on the brake and hold the traction control button for 5 seconds.

Going into sport mode means you have to have your foot on the brake, and then press the TCS button twice, the cluster will display something about sport mode at that point

It's time to take out your user manual, yes?

Tightens up the steering, giving it a heavier feel. It also keeps traction control and stability control (advance track), but decreases their sensitivity (you can spin the tires and fishtail). It will prevent a 180, but still allow you to toss the car around.

But the annoying ABS light stays on when it's in sport mode.
