Traction control and vsc saved my life one day and my young son. It stays ON. I was not going to make the bend, in slushy snow and there was a lorry coming the other way. My Land Cruiser said “oh no you don’t!” Took control for what seemed like an eternity, but we stayed on the right side of the road and continued safely. Leave it switched ON, folks.

In normal conditions, do you turn on or off my 2017 escape seems like its off til i press it off

Hi I own a 2022 Toyota Prado Kakadu here in Australia, I turn off traction control when beach driving in very soft sand, TRC off allows me to maintain momentum without the traction control kicking in, throttling back and applying brakes.

Living in Canada, just this past winter I was driving my 13 Camry through 1 foot of snow, with good Michelin snow tires and keeping the traction control OFF in snow, and ON in freezing rain and ice in the city. If you drive in winter with bald back tires the stability control is going to save you from doing a 360....its going to scare you but it will save you!

Thank you for this video! Trying to drive up a snowy hill tonight on my drive home and my car lost power, making me fearful of being rear ended. I found this video while trying to figure out what was wrong with my car. I will be turning this feature off first thing tomorrow when I have to drive on the snow again.

just once, JUST ONCE, could these videos tell us HOW to turn the traction control BACK ON which would get rid of the warning lights

[cowboygeologist]

Thank you for posting. I have never touched that button on any vehicle I've had.

What driving conditions should traction control be turned on and off?

[malibu]

Driving on soft beach sand the vehicle will often loose power as the traction control system applies the brakes to stop wheels spinning and the car is more likely to stop completely or get bogged, very noticeable on gradual accents. This feature of “traction control on” is more common with the small SUV’s that have limited power.

Wouldn’t you turn it off when using another system, like sway control on a travel trailer?

[yossarianmnichols]

This was helpful. I really want to turn off that dynamic collision control. When someone moves in to my lane directly in front of me on the freeway and we are all going the speed limit the Toyota system puts on the brakes and takes over the gas/electric and my RAV$ suddenly is making everyone behind me slam on their brakes.

Hi everyone. I hope you liked the video. How would you use trac and trac off buttons? Thanks for watching! I do some content on this channel as well so please subscribe if you want to. Jeff

I have a RAV4 LE AWD Is the default position for traction control on? If you turn it off does it go back on automatically or do you turn it back on? Thank you very much.

[danedon]

I only use it in the winter in snow. Why would I want it on any other time during the year?

[jaredglass]

Mine is always off. I hate having it on. Its a nightmare if you accidentally pull out in traffic and have to give it a lot of throttle. Car bogs down and will not go. Scary seeing the other vehicles coming up on you so fast and you feeling so helpless because you can't go.

[luisalmanzor]

Can you turn ON the snow button and traction control at the same time?

[tylermalmsten]

I turn both off every time I go off-roading in my tacoma, the truck handles amazing in the dirt!

[amandalee]

Road was very icy n sleek, traction control was on n my vehicle suv keeps jerking n not really moving n it was in the middle of crossing intersection. I turned it off n the vehicle moved along. What else can I do. It is dangerous especially crossing the intersection when the vehicle is not moving along as it should.

How fast can someone go with traction control !? Can traction control be used at speeds of 50-69 and leave it on, or only when someone is stock in snow or mud?
