I think it should have a TC button. Open your bonnet and see what engine is in it to tell if you got a SS. Look at the ID plate while your there.

The button should be next to the switch for your fog lights.
Its odd if it didn't have it.

VX SS (Original owner).
If it is an auto the TC button is on the console next to the T bar/auto shift lever, see the pic below of mine, I have a feeling I read some where that ex police VX SS's didn't have TC fitted.

Heyo,
It is most likely an SS but an EX police car. If it's manual it wont have traction control at all. If you have a little isolation switch or in normal terms another "off" switch for your lights behind the steering wheel on the left, it is a police car. Another way to tell is, look at the light in the roof, is it a regular dome light or does it have 2 map reading lights in it also. More than likely it's an SS, just one that Mr officer ringed the a** out of back in the day.
