Dynamic Turtle Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 In the (USA) manual, it says these switches are underneath the steering wheel, but I can't find them. Can these things be turned off? I have searched the forum for answers already... Cheers, DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 on the dash, to the right of the steering wheel, below the level of the ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Not a good time of year to have it switched off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You might also just have a hole in the dash if the previous owner has pushed it through. Happens more often that you might think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 On mine the traction control button is near the drivers right knee! If its a JDM import then I believe some of these have a button near the heated seats button on the centre tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Also you cant disable VDC without pulling a fuse, which also disabled ABS. So only TCS can be turned off easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshThePonce Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Also you cant disable VDC without pulling a fuse, which also disabled ABS. So only TCS can be turned off easily I can turn VDC off at the push of a button, same place TCS on other models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to stop that is to pull the ABS fuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just fit a switch to the power wire on the yaw sensor in the center console, then you can turn it back on without having to bugger about with relays etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
