Traction Control

I've just bought an S Type 04 plate. Could anyone tell me if it is best to use the traction control all the time? If not when should it be used? Many thanks

Traction control should be on by default so leave it on. If you hit a spot of oil or grease on the road it'll help prevent you loosing control. No good trying to swift it on when you car is doing a pirouette in the middle of the road!

The only time I disengage it on my S Type is occasionally on snow or ice where a bit of wheel spin will get you going!

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. Its what I thought but I was puzzled by the fact that it had to be turned on whenever starting the car, so I thought maybe I was wrong, however that appears not to be the case.

My handbook for the XJ six says that I should only switch it on in icy or snowy weather but apparently ABS is incorporated anyway just in the normal running of things, :rolleyes: amazing vehicles – – – I now consider BMWs as "fleet cars" :rolleyes:

I would wholehearted agree. They are common, no class.
