How To Turn Off Traction Control
I can't figure out how to switch off the VSC or VDIM. In my Acura I have a button labeled VSA and it shuts down the traction and stablity control. Now I'm not asking because I want to do a burn out or powerslide around a turn. With winter approaching I just want to be able to disable the traction system in case I get stuck. I remember seeing a TRAC off button somewhere but I can't find it.

Ive had this car for a year and a half and never knew these buttons where here. In fact, last winter we had a moderate snow storm, and I went out driving and wished I could turn the TCS off.

^^ I thought the traction ON is a better way to drive in snow-ice-mud. <= btw, I have very little driving experience in these conditions.

That is not true. Until I went and looked for myself, this was my understanding as well. But, our car is AWD and it definitely has the VSC off button.

Yeah, it was "new" on the 2008. I have an '07 AWD, and no button. In fact, someone on here actually went to the trouble of ordering and wiring up the button in a 2007 (the harness is behind the dash whether the button is installed or not), and it didn't work.
