I was watching a review by Chasing Cars on youtube: Mazda CX-5 turbo petrol 2021 review | CX-9 2.5 punch in a RAV4-sized SUV | Chasing Cars
At about 12:45 the reviewer starts talking about the "Hill Climby Car Button" which apparently works in a "sporting sense" and refers to it as "Tarmac mode" which will preemptively send power to the rear wheels rather than detecting slip and then sending power rearwards.
Based on what the guys says, I am sure someone might be tempted to try and use Off-Road Traction Assist for spirited driving.
Sounds like a bad idea. I assume this will cause premature wear on the clutch packs or break something else if used long term?
Does anyone on here use that mode in normal conditions?
