Traction Control

I have tried to switch off the traction control, and I seems like it should have a light on the switch when its off? When I try to switch it off nothing appears to happen? Am I missing something?

hold the button for a few seconds and the light should come up.

It takes several seconds. Hold the button down for several seconds and you'll get a warning on the display saying it's been disabled.

You have to hold the button for 10 seconds.
From then on you got to be very careful with the loud pedal otherwise your rear end is all over the place. :-) and you do not want it in front of you.

To switch it on again just depress it briefly.

Have fun

Cheers Christian

leave it off...learn to drive...few things look more sexy than a vantage drifting out of a bend or into it, just budget for extra rubber even the 911 guys eny this on a sunday run.
just dont get it wrong then its very embarrassing, done with finesse you dont even harm the car and in fact you save on rear pads and disks

guys who ride two wheels have the same hardon when they get the front wheel up

Could be expensive...

An unfortunate result of an inexperienced driver with traction control disabled...thankfully, no others were involved or injured.
