    Just got one of these and in less than 24 hours of owning it the TCS light stays on and on the occasion turns off for a few seconds, any ideas what that could be before I chase up the dealership on it

    I can't wait to do this when I get off work. Do you think I can break the tires loose on wet pavement. And did you ever feel like you were going to tip over when you were sliding?

    • @hoontron594
      @hoontron594  9 років тому +1

      nick walter for best results try and do it on a fine grit asphalt surface, if your going to attempt a burnout in the dry. Avoid rapid deceleration while sliding, and you won't feel any tip over feeling.

    forgive my ignorance..but what is the benefit of this?
    does it help for a faster pullout?
    or
    does it help for driving in the snow?

    • @hoontron594
      @hoontron594  7 років тому +6

      The benefit of this is to help maintain throttle, which enables better throttle response while cornering and the ability to "drift" too

      Unfortunately North American Smarts have a different ESP shut off method, see if you can find out if there is a fuse you can unplug to disable ESP

      Since this video was made in USA we don't have the forfour, but maybe the new fourtwo works the same way. I use the smart car of america online forum for information on smarts, they may have the answer for you. Thanks for watching!!

      Sorry to here that, there is also a way to shut off the driver assist systems by removing the fuse that regulates them, but I am unsure which fuse number as the North American and European smarts use different engines. Hope this helps :)
