Hey everyone. So it's Christmas Eve, fresh snow and an empty parking lot but I can't figure out how to turn off VSC. I held down Trac off for 3 seconds for the "Off" symbol to light up on my dash. I'm in sport+ manual and the second the car starts sliding the stability light starts flashing. Is there no way of turning it off? (I have a AWD if that makes a difference)
Is the light just flashing? Or is it cutting the fuel? If its just flashing then don't worry about it. But if its cutting fuel then I guess the AWD model doesn't let you turn off TCS completely.
According to the manual...
To turn the TRAC and VSC systems off, press and hold button (with skid icon) for more than 3 seconds
while the vehicle is stopped.
My Experience: RWD here, with Trac set to Off, the stability lights do not light up with rear wheel rotational spin, however they may when the wheel skids from side to side.
TCS for wheel spin control.
VSC for side skid control.
These are actually very complicated systems that work together:
