Scenario 1 - Both systems are armed every time the vehicle is started and both/either system can be engaged by the computers depending on circumstances. This is done so that the vehicle will assist the driver in maintaining control of the vehicle under most conditions.
Scenario 2 - If I push the Active Handling button on the console, the FIRST thing that happens is that BOTH systems are TURNED OFF. This condition would not permit the vehicle's computers to assist in an emergency control situation.
Scenario 3 - If I HOLD the button for 5 seconds, I enter Competitive Mode where the AH remains engaged but the TCS is disabled.

Scenario 1 is set each and every time the vehicle is started and is presumably the "safest" driving condition.
Scenario 2 disables ALL computer assist and therefore would be the "unsafest" condition.
Scenario 3 allows "half" as much computer assist and would therefore fall somewhere between safest and unsafest.

Dude what ARE you talking about this is not the system that comes with our cars...
IN THE 5th GEN CAMARO:
Default is both on
Push button once disables TC only
Twice (within 4 seconds) Enables stabilitrac competitive mode
Holding button for over 7 seconds will disable both.
