Default Where's my TCS button???

Ok, this may be a very dumb question...

I have a performance model and it is my understanding that traction control is standard. If this is the case, why do I not have the TCS button? I have the VDC button, but the switch to the right of it is blank and you can't push it in...

Did the dealer screw me over?

Thanks,

Tim

owners manual is your friend, you dont have TCS, it is tied into VDC, meaning you cant have TCS without VDC. one button activates both.

ares,

Your consistant, patient responses to repeat dumb, back-end-of-a-Missouri- mule questions is an inspiration to us all.

I could actually quote what the manual says and show you that his respone is *IMPLIED* and not written.

However, I don't have as much time as you do. When I see a repeat post about a topic that does not have any obvious threads when searching, I either answer the question because I understand the person asking doesn't feel like looking through 2,000 posts, or i just move right along. One day, people will realize that not everyone has the time to read everything on this board and unless google takes over on PHP boards, repeats will happen simply out of crappy search results and poor thread subject lines. Enjoy!

Thanks
Tim

Yeah I had to go back and re-read the owner's manual two or three times myself before the lightbulb above my head actually lit up and I realized that the TCS is controlled by the VDC, and the VDC button controls everything.

The owners manual describes the single button contol of both systems poorly.
