You have 2 options.
1. Follow what manual said.
2. Follow member said.

I did, #3... I did my own break-in. I own '14 Limited w near 15k on it. Never had any engine issue... other than stupid girl rear ended my car

Being super anal about your car, I'm sure you've read the manual cover to cover and this thread was just to get some jollies off right?

Not at all... I just found that since I have testes dangling between my legs I much prefer to drive with traction fully off.

Was going to help, now I'm not, survival of the fittest, enjoy your ride once you finish reading the manual.

(Tip, the only time a TC light goes off is if you've pushed the 'left' 'off' button and did not hold, that is a sort of 'snow mode' that disables above ~25 mph)

Nope. Just hold down the TCS OFF button for 3 seconds at any point in time to turn it off.

Don't worry about it. It will go away, also I noticed that the idle thing happens more easy with 91 then 94 on my car...
