Default Someone explain this traction control stuff to me...
It wasn't really clear from the owner's manual, so I figured someone here would be able to explain it to me. As I understand it, there are three modes:
1) Traction control off, Auto LSD
2) Traction control off, Auto LSD, VSC Off
3) Traction control off, VSC off (no Auto LSD)

I believe mode 1 was when one tire is stuck, the limited slip differential was for allowing the other wheel to get power.

Mode 2 was apparently for slippery road conditions, mud, snow and such.

There was no real explanation for the third mode though. If anyone can provide some details on this whole mess, I'd appreciate it.
