Traction Control

Hi,

Our 99 Maxima GLE has Traction Control. I am curious how it works. Have not seen much mentioned about it on the forums...

Basically what it does is apply braking to the wheel that is spinning. Personally I don't like it near as well as a limited slip differential. I usually turn mine off in the snow.

you car has traction control if you see the button for it in your car. dont think all 99s came with it

if you understand the general concept of traction control its the same for the max. Does have the nice clever tricks the newer cars (and Jags) but better than nothing i guess.

That's how some cars are, not A32's.
