I thought that was the traction control on/off switch but I'll look this morning.I believe it's next to the hazard button.
Yup, you're correct RyanI thought that was the traction control on/off switch but I'll look this morning.
Check out your owners manual. It has in there what ESC stands for. Electronic Stability Control, which would be your traction control.
Well I'll be damned. I'm gonna try that! I guess this is a "RTFM" Ryan...I know I know...I've just been working hard and forgot! Thanks ill try it again.Check out your owners manual. It has in there what ESC stands for. Electronic Stability Control, which would be your traction control.

Good to know it works. Gonna have to do this myself
The DDCT must not have it, as my car absolutely rolls back on hills.
Though, my build sheet says BNGS - Hill Start Assist

It's not so much that I feel I'm missing out, just wondering if there is something wrong with my car.
Maybe you need a bigger hill? or have you tried to activate it? I read that if you repeat these steps you can turn it back on if you decide you want it again.It's not so much that I feel I'm missing out, just wondering if there is something wrong with my car.
