The button will no longer operate...Until the car is turned off and on again.Does any one know what this does? Whats the purpose? I have not tested it yet, however you see those little tricks in BMW 5 series, Lambos and stuff (well according to Wheels)Any one shed some light on this??Good luckJoel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32450-traction-control/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that if you turn the traction control off the dsc turns off as well.

I still have no idea what it does.One thought though might be that by holding it down it turns off the traction control and also gets rid of the light the dash...
