    I will admit I had not noticed this switch until this evening.

    I went through the manual --- couldn't see anything about it.

    The switch on the left with the tire tracks....what does it do?

    FYI: Manual transmission, DCSB Sport.

    Thanks!

    If you press it you turn your rear differential into a type of limited slip by way of the ABS system monitoring wheel slippage and managing it with the brakes back there.

    Works quite well for the most part.

    I think that If you press it...you turn OFF the ABS limited slip or whatever... I think it's on by default....!
    If you want to do a burn out or doughnut... turn it off and see the difference...

    If you hold it at a stop for a few seconds it disables traction crontrol.

    Push once quickly turns on auto "LSD". Hold for few seconds it turns off all traction control.

    Have to buy the Tuner to get more horsepower and torque. I have a link if you want one. It adds like 47 more HPs man. Totally legit

    Smitty nailed it. Need to do it at a full stop at least to turn off all of it. I know this because I turned mine off to do a rooster tail at my home bar before a league night :)

    It gives you rear wheel steering.
