Traction Control Light

Wassup errbody,

Ive been trying to look for the Traction Control Light in the FSM but cant find anything. Everytime im at a stop and then stomp on the gas my car sways from side to side and the Traction light blinks on my control panel. Is this normal or am I just tripping? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Dude, it's behaving correctly. The G can easily overpower the rear tires when you stomp on it. That's the sway you feel before the traction control reins in your heavy foot. As for the light, not sure I ever saw it. I have my head up looking through the windshield.

Uhh well as stated above, if you're smashing on the gas from a stop then traction control will kick on and blink as well so you don't spin the rear wheels and youll feel the side to side motion. If you would prefer this not to happen, you could turn traction control off and observe your results
