RX350_KSA

I I have RX350 in which VSC cannot be disables but there are some techniques to do so by playing with Brakes and Parking Brakes. My question is if I disable VSC, will Attraction control still work. My understanding is that Attraction control is good in Off-Road especially on sand becuase it moves the torque to the other normal tyres leaving the slipping one. However, with VSC enabled Attraction is not doing well on sand because of the engine being slowed down by VSC which keeps my RX350 stuck in sand.

Can someone help?

You are in the wrong forum. BTW, it's A-TRAC (active traction control).

ATRAC is not the best tool in sand, but you tend to lose momentum with the braking. The problem with ATRAC is that it is REACTIVE, esp. in the RX's system which i assume is street-oriented...in that, there must be slippage before it engages the brakes. By the time it engages, another wheel is slipping...so, it's always a step behind in sand driving.

Next time, i would lower your tire pressure to 20-25 psi...probably 25 psi if you have highway tires on your RX. This would be a lot more effective than you playing around with your electronics.
