Traction Control - Disabling?

[morpheen]

Hello,

I did some searching but didn't find anything. I went to have some fun in the snow today and found that I couldn't turn off the TCS!

In my Mazda3 there are different stages for the TCS, by which I mean you can fully disable it by starting the car while holding the TCS button down.

Is there any way to do this with the CX-9? I tried it but it was only off until the car started to lose traction and then it came back on automatically.

It only stays off below 15 mph. Not the best design.

In some/most Toyota/Lexus vehicles, you can't even turn TCS off...

Well the under 15 mph makes sense of why it came back on automatically. I can't believe they made it so you can't disable the TCS

Well since the traction is mainly FWD....I see why they won`t really turn it off, in the end is useless and boring and dangerous for inexperienced people.

I tried once and removed the ABS fuse from the fuse box,
and that turned off all tracation controls + ABS
felt a minimal difference in power because there's no control over it,
but I quickly returned everything as it was because I dont feel safe without the ABS.
