Changing the driving settings

I tried changing the driving settings like the video showed and I read the owners manuel. I can not get any thing to come up on the display. What am I missing? It can not be this hard.

Just how soft or firm the shocks are. It's pretty much the equivalent of PTM Mode 1 (Wet) and Mode 2 (Dry) on the coupe. You can still turn off all the assist systems by pressing and holding the Traction control button for 7 seconds. Doing that and putting it in Sport mode is as close to PTM 5 as you will be able to get. If your new to the car I'd suggest getting used to it before you decide to turn it all off.

Yeah, vert is kinda gimped. I love mine, but no PTM and no underbelly really annoys me.

What they ^ said about traction, except this: If you are used to driving rear wheel hp, turn off all the nannies. If you kick the rear out and try to correct yourself while the stabilitrack is also trying to correct, things get really weird, and dangerous. If using Stabilitrack remember this : release gas+steer. Almost got me killed learning that.

Convertibles are not normally allowed on the track (without a roll bar), so no track modes.

By the way, don't know what the 2013 manual says, but the 2014 manual is very clear that the convertible does not have the PTM modes. Probaby says it more than 10 times, including the title of the section:

Performance Traction
Management (PTM) (ZL1
Coupe and Z/28 Only)
