I make sure both are on, so you can feel the excitement when the car starts going sideways Hold the button down (press and hold, do not let up) until you see both lights light up on the dash, it seems like forever when you are waiting for them to show up, at least 10-15 seconds.

I can see his next post being, "Dang it worked, BUT when the car started going sideways, we couldn't stop fast enough and now have damage to the front end and rims from hitting the curb."

LOL, let us know how it went for you!
