- Mazda, 2016 CX-5
Just a question about Traction control..
So I read ab out Mazda TCS and DSC. They can both be switched off by pressing and hold the TCS button for 5 seconds. But even in this situation, the DSC will still kick in when you push it.
I never went off roading in sand with my CX-5 but I am worries about any form of traction control kicking in and cutting power or apply breaks or anything when I'm driving through sand that's the last thing I want to happen as I will surely get stuck.
From what I've read, the only way to really get rid of traction control on Mazda is to pull the fuse. Any experience out there?
On a side note, I am really dismayed by the fact that I can't easily switch off all traction control. The CX-5 is an SUV that can actually be made to oversteer into a corner if you keep on turning aggressively. Of course, by then traction control kicks in and kills the oversteer you managed to accumulate. Such a spoil sport.
