I don't see any indicator that tells me if TCS is on or off? I don't see a green light similar to LKAS when I push TCS button, is the green light broken for TCS?
At least living somewhere warm, you can get away with not having it on, the same can't be said if you lived somewhere that gets snow, although sliding around in snow would be fun.I haven't turned mine off but I thought there was a light on my push button for traction control. The button is located on the left side of the dash. I also thought that a traction off light would appear (light up) on the instrument panel somewhere.
Guess I need to check on the way home from work.![]()
I would have to disagree with that. Even on a dry road you can lose traction.At least living somewhere warm, you can get away with not having it on, the same can't be said if you lived somewhere that gets snow, although sliding around in snow would be fun.
Light rain on a road that has been dry for several days can be as slick as ice due to the oil buildup on the pavement from traffic. Once it has rained hard enough to wash it off then the road is not quite so slick.Also, when rain just sprinkles on the road, that makes the roads very slippery. I would rather drive in a downpour.
Momentum.I leave traction control on all of the time. If there is an advantage to turn it off, let me know.![]()
Thanks. I did not know that or notice that. I'll have to give it a try next time I need a fast getaway or when I am late for work.Momentum.
The TCS can bog the car down and cut power when you are trying to get moving.
Correct. I agree. Most accidents happens just moment after rain or drizzle starts.Light rain on a road that has been dry for several days can be as slick as ice due to the oil buildup on the pavement from traffic.
