Lol, I can get both off, which I don't do because I'm not that good of a driver and I would wreck my nice new car. But in the manual it says if you press the Trac Off button it will disable the TRAC system, if you press the VSC button it will put it in Sport mode and if you hold the TRAC Off button for 3 seconds it will disable everything.

For me Sport mode works and everything off works but I can't get it to just turn off the TRAC system. It just doesn't appear to do anything on a momentary press of the TRAC Off button. Anyone else experience this?

Mine doesn't reengage at 31mph as long as you press and hold long enough. Once both yellow lights activate, you know you've held it long enough and it will not reactivate. Again, only using the TCS button.

Don't make me take a video.

Does it do anything for you if you just quickly press the TCS button?

Yep, if i quickly press it, then it will reengage at 31, but if i press and hold just the TCS for 5 seconds it's fully disabled and does not reactivate.

That's not indefinitely, that's until you turn off the car.

You'll need to turn off the engine to turn TC and VSC back on.

Hmm... mine doesn't do that. I'll have to play with it more and beyond that I'll have to try and decide if I really care.

I'm just reiterating what's in the manual. Take a video of whatever you please, but have the decency to hold the phone the right way.

Hmmm, read it too quickly, I was hoping to be able to turn it off until I wanted it on again. Oh well...

Then reiterate it properly.



It says nothing about the VSC button.

i really hope you're trolling, but on the off chance you're not, i'll indulge you.

It says press and hold the traction button, it mentions the VSC indicator light on the dash illuminating, but it clearly says "Press and hold the <TCS BUTTON> for more than three seconds", nowhere in the instructions does it say to press the VSC button.

If trac won't go off when your car is stopped take it to the dealer cuz it should.
