"Slip," when changing gear. What is that?

[NeverEnough]

Hi,New to the site and new to the club.

I'm sure you got this question before but what is the, blinking of the, "slip" warning sign as i change gear quickly? It happens everytime i try to race someone. Is there a way to turn it off?

Thanks,Craig

What year is your G?

The SLIP light is just letting you know the traction control is sensing wheel slipping.

05 Coupe? It happens everytime i try to race. I'm not that good but I've been driving a stick for a long time. I don't get it.

just turn off the traction control..the VDC button on the bottom left next to your pop truck button and light dimmer

In my 07 the slip light still comes on with the VDC off but the VDC light does not come on

Maybe its to just let you know that your still "slipping"...but with the VDC off you shouldnt get any hesitation from the car trying to gain control again... that is just my thought, not exactly sure just from previous experience with other cars... Ive only driven my G about 8 hours..and didnt really mess around with the VDC..

still comes on with my 03 coupe too......yup, it's more of an FYI light. nothing to worry about....when your racing that is. Going over a potentially blackice bridge in the winter time.....that's when ya wanna worry =)
