What Will Happen If I Turn Off Traction Control In My Auto?

[krosfyah]

If anyone can tell me what the point in turning it off is, i'd be interested to know. I gather it's safer to have it on?

[Parthiban]

The point of it is to stop the wheels spinning - I'm not really sure I understand the question......

I've gotta say it's pretty hard to get the wheels spinning in the auto in the dry, but in the wet, I tend to set my traction control off quite a lot

I can spin my rear wheels on my auto on dry roads, the tc does kick in tho, just means they'll spin more if the tc is off, and its more fun :D

Stav your'e a spoilsport :P

with TC off and you're at a T junction and you floor it to make it into a gap the tail may step out... can be fun if you're expecting it and like that effect... if not leave it on ;)

[The Transporter]

There are times when it is beneficial for the TC NOT to cut the engine power when your wheels spin... Such as when you are trying to slither off wet grass... Your wheels spin but you still have some forward motion

[TomCooper]

but if traction control is on and its wet and you need to pull out a busy junction quick it can be a pain when it kicks in and gives you 0 power when you need to move!!!

just turn it off permantly and get a racelogic system fitted, you'll never regret it!

[shake]

i'd keep it on unless you fancy abit of sideways action.
