I searched and couldn't find a thread explaining it, if there is one please link me to it.

Can someone explain the differences in driving with traction off (button under steering wheel) and the button near the seat warmers on PWR, SNOW or in the middle.

Thank you.

 

Wait. There's a button under my steering wheel?

 

Mine is under and back to the left from the steering wheel

 

Trac gives power to the wheel needed most, pwr button helps you accelerate better, snow slows down your acceleration.

 

How about when the traction is on, bottom switch not engaged, and switch by heated seats is in the middle?

thanks

 

Traction Control limits power when the ABS speed sensor detects the wheels spinning.
Power makes the car shift at a higher RPM
Snow I don't know.

 

The button under the steering wheel is NOT a traction contol button. The one you are talking about allows you to turn off the remote door unlocking function. So if you push the button to off you will not be able to unlock your doors with the key remote.

 

^^^ good info.. I hate having to use the key in the door so I'll prolly never touch it.

 

^^^ It is a Trac button on later model vehicles.

 

Unless the key locking feature is called TRAC, and displays as TRAC OFF, then its a traction control button.
