^_^, I wasn't kidding in that sense. I do hate computer controlled stability. Though, thanks for mentioning this. If you're a n00b at driving, leave those assists on.

Is that fact, or was it just something this poster believed at that point in time?


I don't mean to be a jerk but some things are proven to be not correct later in time.

My question, i didnt think holding both buttons did anything different than just holding the trac button 5 seconds? I was under the impression there was 4 options for the nannies 1) on 2)sport 3)hold trac off for 5 seconds 4) pedal dance (i dont count the single press of the trac as that only works until 30-35mph)

I don't see an answer to this question.


Doesn't holding the trac button down for 5 sec also turn off the stability control (VSC)? In other words, why is it necessary to hold down the VSC button also?

Every piece of info I can find tells me that this control should be included in my car, and it was not an option that I was given. I feel like Im not getting something Im entitled to...

Did you consider DRIVING the car before you bought it?

Ha Ha You tell 'em! Considering the OP's post was 1 1/2 years ago and he very possibly doesn't even come on here anymore!

Perhaps the reason he doesn't post here any more is that he locked himself in the car and has no coathanger.

you don't have those buttons? you're missing out man.

VSC stands for VEHICLE SUPER-SAIYAN CONTROL

Pressing it will make your car turn yellow (regardless of the paint colour) and the red-line will increase to over 9000.
