(So you know, manual cars have the sport VSC and traction control buttons) |
I'm aware of the buttons on the M/T. Nothing being discussed here regards the vehicle nanny features. It may be that VSC = throttle response. At least for purposes of the nanny function for throttle cutoff to regain control when tires break loose. But clearly the A/T has throttle response features apart from VSC as the A/T has a rev matching feature that is only present in the A/T. The quote I cited from the review referenced throttle reponse with regard to A/T shifts. Short of some abrupt nanny intervention, nothing in my experience or research has pointed to VSC as controlling the shifting performance of the A/T.
