just becuase you weren't given the option to switch it off, do you really think holden would leave out a safety option such as traction control????

Yes, because it costs money

VX SS (Original owner).
I have had a few VT/VX's depends on the model whether it had TC or not, my VT Executive did not have it, the VT Berlina did, the Acclaim had it as well and my VX SS has it.
Pretty sure if there is no button it equals no TC, just had a look at the VTII sales brochure and it was an option on the lower spec models as part of an options package.

SOLD - VX, Now have MY14 CRUZE
My 2001 VX-Spac has no traction control button, But I'm pretty sure it has traction control, Because When I put my foot down it seems like my car just cuts off petrol, "Isn't that what its meant to do on that model?"

Don't really give two shits though, Don't want my car impounded for burnouts, And if I have traction control there's a reason for me not to do them "Even though I wouldn't"

VT Acclaim Wagon
GMH likes to confuse you. I have a 1998 s1 Acclaim which has both Traction control and the button to turn it on/off. Left/passenger side of the shift lever. It is a bit hard to pick it under the bonnet as it built into the abs module.

It's optional on some models so yes they will leave anything out to save cost.

If you have no button, you DONT have trac control.
I have first hand knowledge of it.

Non! Sold the Berlina

I have a VT 1998 Berlina without the traction button but trust me it has traction!! the exec's and lower end series I commodores did not have traction all together and if they did they DID they did not have the button. The series II commodore onwards (if it has traction option eg. acclaim calias/berlina) has the switch to disable it.
