Can't remember if the owner manual states Traction or Skid, but have seen either mentioned. I don't have the manual readily available but just thought about this on way to work in the snow. Does the 1994 Q45s have Traction/skid control because I do not see any buttons or such to engage it. How will I know if it has, is it automatic computer controlled?. I am aware that the manual may cover different years or models between a range of years, and some cars may have or not have. Does anyone have an answer

It was an extra cost option and has a TCS disable switch.The CONVERSE of ABS where rear brakes were applied and the extra auxillary TB closed to choke engine power simultaneously to avoid destroying rear brake pads.

When rear abs sensors showed tire slip/spin and the fronts were normal.

If you have it the TCS Cancel button will be in between the seat heater buttons in the center console behind the gear shifter.

like they said, youll either have a TCS OFF button behind the shifter (near the center console) and there will be a SLIP and TCS OFF light surrounding the airbag light on the tachometer.
