Hey,

is there a code to be able to turn stability control off when turning traction control off? my px2 XLT only disables traction control.

regards

No, hold the traction control button down for about 10 seconds. The light will flash and allow the car to slide very sideways around the corner.

Be careful...

Read through page 136-137 of your Vehicle manual. It explains how and what it does.

Basically you want the very last sentence, if it does not work as expected then you may be expecting something to happen that we do not understand.

This is the last few sentences of page 137;
