switching off dtc.

mrpip · 06-12-2008, 08:04 AM

hey guys.
new to this car and still waiting for the owners manual to arrive!

just a couple of questions so far.

is there a way to completely switch off the traction control for more fun and games? it seems whether i press the dtc button or not,it kicks in and interferes with my foolishness!

also,is there any visible way to find out if my car has had a reflash? i bought it used and the tech at the BMW dealership said it felt faster than stock.i looked around for a turbo tuner but couldn't find anything.i bought it from a toyota dealership and obviously they know nothing about the car.

thanks in advance,
pip.

Press the Dtc button once for less interference and increased traction. If you press and hold the Dtc button a second time it will completely disable all control and you're on your own...Definitely not recommended unless you really know what you're doing. But yea- you can read about it more in the manual when you get it-

Press and hold for a few seconds to disengage DTC and DSC. Hopefully we will not read about whether your car is totalled or not.
