I know this has been talked about a number of times here but I've read where some people say traction control is off when the light is on and vice versa when the light if off. What's the deal????? When is traction control off???

Thanks!!!!

On when you get in the car. Press it to turn it off (the light comes on when its off).

Traction control is always on when you turn the car off you have to push the button to turn it off. I comes on automatically with the car

Why is this rocket science? When it is on the button says nothing, when it is off, the "OFF" light on the button glows orange. For safety reasons it always starts on the ON setting. My 12 year old sister figured that one out for christ sake!

Here is a test for those that still don't get it. If you don't know if it's on or not, try peeling out. If your car acts like a p*ssy, then it's on. Hit the friggin button to turn it off. Damn.

I thought it was 99+ but I could be wrong. I know it's still an option though.

People get confused cause theres 2 lights. One light on the actual button that says "traction control" Press this, and it will light up. Then T/C is off

When you have t/c on, and you begin to lose traction, a light will lightup on the dash. Its a little green tire/wheel thingy. That means that t/c is on and engaging.
