pjwooly, it's in your owners manual! Many people say it does mystical things, it doesn't do much at all.

As far as i know, if you don't have the button, you don't have traction control.

Jbird, SS cop cars didn't have traction control included. Hence the no button! I'm fairly sure that it wasn't even an option to put in, but i'd have to get home to check the BT1 choice sheets to be 100%.

when i meant it had no button, means it has no traction control. Try droping a standstill, if u start frying tyres u have no traction control which means ur ss is possibly a ex cop. I am pretty sure all vy SS models came with the the traction control button
