How to enter dyno mode?



I can't figure out how to get into dyno mode. I'm trying to test this tuning box but can't figure it out on this car!

Any help would be appreciated.

Quickly press the start/stop button 3 times (without pressing the brake pedal of course) to access the hidden service menu. It may take a couple of seconds to activate.

Thanks. When I do that I get a message saying 'diagnostics mode active'. How do I bring up the menu?

Just in case anyone was wondering, you need to hold the turn signal button / BC for quite a long time. Short click to move through the menu, long click to select.
