M track button

**shimmy** · 11-06-2011, 08:46 AM

Ok, i am so impressed by how nobody knew what the sport button Did

I'm interested now to know what the collective wisdom is on the steering wheel M track and DSC in general

Does anybody know

what it really changes?

from personal tests I would say that it disables stability control but leaves traction control firmly on.

All aids are bad aids though and imho they should all be turned off. Their only use is for when you want to switch off on a long motorway journey. Especially with cups on!

Hi,

I have always understood that the DSC works
via the ABS sensors.

Once a rear drive wheel starts to spin then
it soft cuts engine, until the wheel stops spinning.

My understanding is that the 'M Track' button keeps
the DSC off until you reach the upper limits and
then it cuts in ?
May have got this wrong but seem to remember that
steering angle is related as well.

I dislike that you have to turn DSC on as such to drive with
it off, the default setting is all wrong, makes you wonder
what else gets fucked up this way around.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

You may not be interested in how your car works, but I am and i believe it all aids driver understanding and makes you at one with the car

Any way, Windscreeen washers next!
