To turn off the traction control, so that it doesn't kick in once you hit 30 MPH, you simply come to a complete stop and hold the button down for about 3-5 seconds. It will also turn the VSC off, but you don't have to worry about it kicking in if you chirp in 2nd gear.

If the traction control kicks in at all while you are spraying you are going to be in trouble. I know how to turn it off but dose it stay off in 3rd gear and maybe 4th...........NO! If your spraying you spin in 3rd gear and sometimes in 4th. When I sprayed a 100 shot on the tC I was spinning in 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th if I got on it.

Just trying to help people out before they start spraying......................

Yes it does stay off in 3rd and 4th! Do a little research. If you hold the VSC button down while you are at a complete stop until you see the VSC light come on, it will turn the traction control off indefinitely until you recycle the ignition. So if you make it a point to turn it off before using, you'll be fine. In fact, here in SLC, before I turn onto a street before leaving a parking lot I turn it off. I also turn it off before I need to take off quickly at a light.

One more time, if you hold it down, while at a complete stop, it will turn the traction control OFF until you recycle the ignition. That means that you can take the car up to 120, shifting through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and even reverse if you feel like it, without the traction control kicking in. The car will still beep at you and tell you that you are slipping, but it will NOT engage the traction control system. Claro como lodo?

if you want you can run a rpm switch this automatically turns your nitrous on and off under full throttle

or a mini 2 stare progressive controller

yeah thats a window switch but it just runs of what rpm your at so it kicks on a 3000 and shuts down at 6 but you still need a switch to when you have reached full throttle and a presure switch wont work as the drive by wire takes a few to get to full throttle

The funny thing is that in the August issue of Car and Driver they said that there was no way to turn off the traction control fully. They say it turns back on as soon as the car dose something crazy..................................

I have always pushed that button when I was at a light and I noticed that the traction control turned off for 2 gears and went back on. Then the other night I held it down and it turned off for the whole ride home.......................

I fell like I unlocked the car fully.......lol.............

Thanks guys..........................

I feel stupid for ready the article and not fully pushing the button down till both lights turn off.

Sorry.....................................

Read a couple of posts above yours. I don't like flaming, but that has got to be the dumbest thing I have seen on the forums.
