Turning trac off ...what dose that do
Trac off for three sec...what dose that do

I want to know what happens in the diff and what it's good for .

Like autocross should I use Vsc or turn it all off

And drifting.

The owner's manual has some basic explanations to get you started in understanding the vehicle dynamics systems:

VSC Sport mode is driving me nuts. I can't stand looking at both those idiot lights and then the flashy traction loss light never stops blinking..... can't imagine why.
But the slip percentage isn't quite enough in my opinion.

Then pushing the off button for 3-5 sec or however long it takes is also super annoying. One quick push for permanent off would've been nice.

I will look into something to make the situation better for myself once I have time.

I wish we could turn traction off and leave it in vsc sport... Like Ishii said, watching the light flash all the time is annoying and with it in sport it seems like if the rear end moves at all it steps in.

What I want to know is how do we turn off the smart stop tech. Where you put the foot in the brake then rev up. It wont allow it to rev past 2k rpms. spent all day autocrossing like that it sucked.

You ca thank Scion's lawyers for that.

thats crap.. so if you want to drift and you turn both trac and vsc off and when u passed 31mph it will turn on again? not letting you slide?

at any speed, as i discovered the other day, shutting both the trac and vsc off is possible. if only the trac off then it will come back on after 31mph. having both off keeps both off. I dont bother with the sport car is easy enough to control as is.

you can turn just the traction control off and keep it off after 31 mph. from a dead stop press and hold the trac off button for 4-5 seconds. done.

You don't have to be at a stop. I turn if off on the fly all the time.

I do wish Sport mode would allow for greater slip angles. Is that something that could be altered with an ECU tune??

Yeah, don't have to be completely stopped, but also cannot be doing 60 mph on the highway. I don't know the exact limit but it has to be about 15 mph or less.

Perhaps it's programmed differently for Canada. I can hold the TC button down for five seconds at 120km/h and it will fully turn it off.

I might be mistaken as I tried it only once. :w00t:

I haven't tried it at 60, but up to 50mph, if you hold the trac button it'll shut the traction control off. What I haven't noticed yet is this: if you step on the brakes, does the engine drop RPM? I mean, can you left foot brake while keeping the engine RPM up, or does it automatically drop engine RPM as well?
