OK I'm confused. Who has a TCS off switch? I have a VDC off switch but no TCS off. Is something screwy?

Nothing is screwy

Here's a breakdown:

The 2.5S has neither option available.The 3.5SE comes standard with the Traction Control System (TCS)The 3.5SE has an available Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). This is an a separate option. If you have this you can't have the TCS.

The TCS reduces engine power when it senses wheel slip.The VDC helps maintain oversteer and understeer in an unfortunate event.
