Dynamometer Mode

I have been trying to enter the dynamometer mode and was successful twice,but can't seem to do it consistantly. I reviewed the U tube video's but some things are not clear.
1-In switch position 1 I get the odometer readings
2-Do you hold the "call" button & the "ok" button at the same time?If not which do you hold first & how long do you hold it before holding the other button.
The reason I am curious about the Dyno mode is I think I can improve the acceleration times in the dyno mode because all traction controls are off.The times I was able to enable the dyno mode I noticed the start seemed faster(less hesitation).Any help would be appreciated.

It's a sequence (press & hold call, then pres and hold oK). I think where most people go wrong is that they have the car running. You need to have the car in ignition mode only - you won't reach the service menu when the car is running. Turn it off completely, then follow the steps in the video - you'll get it.

Yeah there has to be a half-second delay between pressing the call button, then the ok button. If you press both at the same time you won't get anything.

It might be worth trying the" Dyno Mode" at the drag strip.I noticed that the response at the start seemed faster.If you were already getting wheelspin the "Dyno" mode may not be of any help.
