XR6TK1W1 Member 435 Member For: 21y 1m Location: Wellington NZ Posted 07/05/03 04:25 AM Share Posted 07/05/03 04:25 AM Just a note for you guys/gals that don't like the fact that the traction control comes on automatically which leaves you reaching for that pesky hidden button. At your next service ask the tech to disable the T/C. It means from what I understand that its off for good. I/E wont come on even if you press the switch. Don't know if the tech will do it but it can be done!!Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StaggerLee Guests Posted 07/05/03 05:30 AM Share Posted 07/05/03 05:30 AM I don't know why people would want to do that... It seems like a lot of trouble just to save yourself pressing a bloody button!Laziness is one thing, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has also help me a couple of times in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just press the damn button if you want it off. Ford would be irresponsible if they disabled it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesn't make people think us Kiwis mad and reckless. I only made the topic since people seemed to complain about the traction control. PS not turning mine off! And XR6na I think the XR6 comes with LSD so traction control is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
