    It's automatic.... You can't turn it off/on. It just works automatically when it senses wheel slip.

    I got it 3 days before, good thing too b/c of logistics of getting down there, we had to! I was at Phasmantis at 3 & D, where were you? I did blow 2 tires on the drive home though! got stuck 20mi south of Seattle.
