    First encountered DSC on a diesel Golf, years ago, messing about on light snow. As Wyatt said, I turned in with way too much steering and it tagged the brakes to rotate and I got into oversteer and drifted round the bend - Thought either the Golf was a cool tail-happy sports car, or i was a rally hero!
    Was only when I found the DSC off button and tried again that I realised I had no skills at all on snow!
    Buffed out the scuffed front bumper and all was well ...

    Just took my Explorer out and put it into mud mode. Can confirm that it's far easier to get sideways than just turning off the TC in the menu. Way, way better to drive in some snow now. Thanks for the video!

    Probably your best video yet, this completely conforms with my own experience and understanding. I'd add one thing though, in an AWD keep your foot in it as well. Let the system use the AWD to pull you where you want to go. To do that it needs your agreement on the go pedal.

    I have the same model explorer, 13-14 model. You can further "turn off" more of the traction control in the menu on the cluster controls. In non Sync models, using the odometer controls enter Setting -> Driver Assist and uncheck Traction control.
    It doesn't fully turn off the TC, but it does dumb it down a fair bit. Mixed with mud mode it does help make a difference.

    I like being able to turn it off, because when i'm having fun and concentrating i have pretty decent vehicle control. But stability control definately saved my car at least once when i was just cruising along and talking on my phone (handsfree ofcourse) with a friend. I hit an oil or coolant spot in a tight left corner, dsc stopped me from sliding into the curb and bending my wheel or suspension.

    I've figured a "drift mode" on my mk7 GTI, turning TC off but ESC on, very gentle LFB at the start of a turn and turning the wheel rather rapidly will induce the car in a very controlled oversteer / slide, only on loose surface however. It's actually a blast! I haven't seen anyone document this on UA-cam, I may do one next time it snows here in KC.

    The first time I slid my 2014 Ram 1500 I almost ended up in the ditch because I counter steered, having driven rally cars in anger I was quite surprised by the result I had. Pretty amazing how well the computer figured out how to maneuver the truck to point the direction of the counter steer, going from a really nice high angle slide to pointing at the the other ditch because of the computer wasn't fun, and I definitely prefer no computer fighting me for control of the vehicle

    Great information, especially about using the system to your advantage to recover.
    I own a Raptor, and the first thing a lot of people will do is tell you to turn everything off (or mostly disabled, can't get everything). I advocate the opposite - only restrict the system if you start activating it when you really don't want to. There's many times it can help save you when things go wrong, provided you still have it on!
    Granted, I usually end up turning everything 'off' for baja/rally style shenanigans, but other times the added safety of the system comes in really handy for narrow roads when an unexpected slippery spot comes up. And most drivers aren't at the competency level where they challenge the default settings, let alone the advanced 'all-off' ones.

    My '16 Golf definitely had a severe learning curve with this. I went from driving old (late 80's - early 90's) Hondas where traction control was my foot, to a modern car that has modern tech.
    While turning off the traction control mutes it a little, it definitely doesn't turn it off. That would have to be coded in (or out) to make it completely analog.

    Enjoyed watching some of the videos on this channel. On my 2nd gen Tundra you can disable VSC and TRAC, not the ABS. In the winter the safety features usually aren't too overbearing providing you have good/proper tires for the conditions, you can learn how to drive the truck at a decent pace while having them enabled. In the summer, they are overbearing, a firm shift that causes the slightest bit of wheel spin or too much movement in the suspension cuts the throttle. Turning them off is needed if you want to actually enjoy driving the vehicle.

In which it's easy to switch off almost all nannies (but e-diff & EBD), and with specific procedure of pedal dance - really all but basic ABS. I guess, more often "non-disableable, unless fuse pulled" case usually is rather in more common family cars then in sporty coupe.

    recently discovered that tapping the traction control button (VSC button?) in my truck once, activates a stronger "auto LSD" and deactivates throttle cut in my truck. All the while keeping VSC on. Turns it into a completely different animal in the snow. Was initially stuck between turning everything off, or leaving it all on. Turning it all off left me "one wheel peelin" at lights, while leaving it all on had my truck going down to idle while attempting to turn left across an intersection. Neither of which are ideal.
    I can now roast both rear tires on command, as much or as little as I want, depending on the situation at hand.

      It really depends on the make and model, some are pretty good, others still only interfere. The esp is really helpful for moving off though- makes you spin both wheels instead of just one, a mode where throttle cut is disabled but the "electronic locker" is not would be ideal, not all cars have this (my Mazda for example only gives me all or nothing, no intermediate mode-)

    • @snek9353
      @snek9353 3 роки тому

      @@piciu256 Mine does that, has a partial off setting where the system can no longer pull throttle and will allow more yaw. But the brake lock differential, AWD, stability control, brake bias, predictive braking, etc. still work. It's also RWD based with no ability to pull power from the rear. This combined with a driver who understands it is a powerful team.

      Rally driving transfers to quicker-speed off road driving, like if you're looking at King of Hammers or any of the Baja stuff it's apples to apples just with more suspension travel.

      offcourse it does. But on most newer (CANbus?) cars that trick doesn't work anymore.
      Sometimes it is possible to switch these Nanny-systems off by getting the car into 'test-mode' or 'dyno-mode'. It often requires a specific sequence of switch/gaspedal activations. It differs from car brand to car brand. And you would have to do that each and every time you start the car because the car will switch back to the normal settings (= default) once you switch off and then restart the car.
