Traction Control?

[g35me]

What is the difference in pushing the traction control button up to race mode vs down to off? When I was at Nissan he indicated that pushing the button down (off) would be the one that causes any warranty issues if something went wrong while driving like that but there was no mention of pushing it up into race mode.

So what happens when the traction control is in race mode and does that cause a warranty issue or is it only an issue when it is off?

Race mode traction control will allow more slip before intervention.

It will not void your warranty.

- Warranty issues are associated with turning VDC off completely.

Excellent, I will be testing that tomorrow.

You shouldn't be able to engage R mode until you have performed your first service.

It has had a 10K service.

Not the case. R was able to be engaged from the get go....

I didn't expect to be able to get it sideways in r mode for traction however it does. It would be pretty insane trying to accelerate with traction off completely.

True but depends on tyres. For example any road tyre is a joke really, compared to decent track tyres.
