Hey fellas

I was just messin around last night and found the following:

Hold the traction control button down for around 10 seconds whilst the car is on, in neutral or drive (not park) and then the TC light flashes briefly and then nothing... 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 luck

Joel :laughing:

if you have a bf or if your car is fitted with dsc ..dynamic stability controll holding the button will command the all off mode.

if u press the tc button its tc off and holding the button untill it flashes is tc off dsc off.

Are you sure because when I hold my traction control button in for a couple of seconds for it to turn off I can get it quite sideways, and I would have thought that dsc would have stopped this. I thought that if you turn the traction control off the dsc turns off as well.

Hmm, this is interesting, my BF has DSC and I can't turn just traction control off in isolation - it's one off, all off!

I'll try tis again though :spoton:

yeah I tried this too the other day after reading your post. 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... :spoton:
