VX Traction Control

[Admiral_Awesome]

hey everyone quick couple of questions..

i just got a series ii VX executive for my first car.

does it have traction control as standard?
and if it does is there anyway to turn it off/where can i turn it off?

its an automatic and im having trouble spinning the wheels from a dead stop. any help appreciated.

There is a button next to the gear lever. Opposite to Power, if it's not there you don't have T/C.

not that i recommend it to someone with their first car but anyway....

At a stop, try putting the car in neutral and holding the revs to about 2000rpm, and then click the car into drive while still keeping it at 2000 rpm, as soon as you feel it engaging put your foot down more, and you'll be single spinning your way down the road.

LOL sure of it!!

Yeah, definitely don't put it into neutral, rev and spin....That's how I screwed my gearbox.

At the end of the day, I've learned my lesson for trying to do wheel spins and drifting and what not. BUT IF YOU MUST!!!!....just use launch control. Brakes, Rev, let go of brakes and off you go

Safe driving now....enjoy!

Yeah definitely don't rev it in neutral then whack it into gear. you'll #### your gear box, and hence kill your baby..

Oh dear. The auto has a torque converter, use it.

Hey man i own a Series 2 VX S pack. I have traction control but mine has a button to turn it off... My button is on the dash in front of the indicator stalk, i think where the fog light button is on the SS model. Although mine is a manual so i could be wrong about the Auto having a button.

oh okay thanks mate. im pretty sure there is no button at all for me though. if i did end up having traction control on my model and it doesnt have a button... is there anyway id be able to turn it off?

[commodore_4_life]

I'm sure there would be a fuse for it.. Not too sure where it would be though sorry, i'd say it would be a main in the engine bay, but don't trust me on that... :/

My VX breaks traction easily. anywhere past 3,000RPM around a corner and she will arc up. If I use the brake pedal just a little bit I can get her to spin whenever I want. I'm on 18x8.5's with 80+% tread on them so you should have no problem at all.

All autos with traction control have a button next to the gear selector. If you have traction control, it will start beeping and telling you "LOW TRAC" when you try to spin the wheels.
