- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ธ.ค. 2014
- All of these new electronic safety features are great! Traction control, vehicle stability control, electronic stability management, electronic stability program. Trac ESP, ESC. They are the best thing since seatbelts. Sometimes however you will need to briefly turn them off. I will explain the situations where you would need to do this. Different cars have Different Traction control lights and buttons and may differ when the Trac systems / buttons and lights are on or off. Check your owners manual for the specific settings and controls of your vehicle. I welcome comments and appreciate subscribers. Thanks- Ben

Thank you for your advice and leaving your number for additional questions you were so helpful to me today!! Very much appreciated!!! You're an amazing person for helping people in need!!
thanks for explaining this function thoroughly. You've just saved my life
Glad I could help. Thanks for the comment. I will be doing more of these kinds of videos. You should subscribe!
Rhonda Adams my Honda hodysey turn on that light
we need a new "Car Talk" show. thanks for explaining this. You are a real asset to the motor vehicle business!
Brenda Visceglia Brenda you are soo right. A "car talk show" would be very nice and beneficial.
Great Video! I turn ESC OFF when pulling out on rainy days in heavy traffic. I thought my car had stalled but it was the ESC braking/decelerating. I drive a stick and can feather the gas, way better knowing what you have than being surprised
Totally man. That's smart. Yeah when you pull out in traffic and the car stalls out- that can be startling. Especially if your cutting it close. Great point man. Im working on a part 2. I will have to put that in there. Thanks.
Wow! This is the most thorough and helpful explanation that i have come
across. I have a 2011 Escalade ESV and the light only comes on when it
get HOT - 85+ degrees or more.
Thank you! I'm not entirely sure why your Escalade only does it when it gets hot, but sounds like maybe its something with the 4X4 differential. Sometimes if those get to warm the computer will shut off certain features like trac, all wheel drive etc. You can have it plugged into a diagnostic at Autozone for free if you want to try and get an idea of what's going on...
You're welcome! Glad I could help. Happy safe driving!
Ben Lindsey Kia Love so this tsc button is always on? I just bought a 2012 honda civic and to shut it off i hit the button when i turn the car on?
Ben Lindsey Kia Love so i was driving in my sentra tonight the wind was blowing hard my car started acting like it had no traction should i turn it on or off the next time im confused?
Ben how do I get each off
How do I turn it back on?????
@@laurasanchez-jf4nt You should be able to push the button again and the "off " light should go out. Otherwise when you turn the car off and back on again, it will default back to on automatically. Thanks for watching.
Wow thanks. You explained that very well thank you..! I was wondering why my car felt like it was stopping me without any pressure on the brake pedal. Makes total sense thx again..!
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching. Subscribe!

Well, this is the first, out of five videos, that actually explains what the ESP Off button does. The snow berm analogy was the best example of it's function, and in three minutes. Thanks for this information, especially since I live in Buffalo, NY., this will help the wife and I. Adios.
Great video Ben. TCS keeps you stuck. I teach that to many of my customers. (I drive a towtruck). However, maybe an edit or new video about the safety features and how they can actually be dangerous to drivers. I myself, do not like ABS, TCS, ESC, ESP. I was taught to drive correctly and can employ threshhold braking, accelerate/avoid, as well many more techniques and high-speed techniques. The fact that people become complacent and all these features can make a person over confident, thus becoming dangerous is a big issue. Over-driving those safety features is a huge risk.
I really liked how you explained everything. Simple, concise and easy to understand. Make more videos Ben :)
Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
My Equinox tried to kill me by killing my engine at the top of my snow/ice covered driveway. TURN IT OFF when you have to get out of a steep driveway.
Thanks a lot ben. I just realized the purpose of the button .
No problem glad I could help. I hope to do some more videos on this same subject.
Thank you, this is the best explanation of when to use the traction button.
I appreciate it. It just hit1.5 million views. Thats pretty good for me. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you. This was very helpful.
I appreciate you watching my channel. Consider subscribing. I will have some new stuff coming out this year. Thanks again!
Wow. You have a real talent of explaining things. Very thorough and concise. Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I talked about it for so long with people and that was kind of the finished product. I just made it for my customers but now it has over a million views! Thank you for watching. - Ben
appreciate ya, just bought a 2018 Chevy Impala, and have been dealing with this bombogenesis/bomb cycle out here on these Trenton, NJ streets
That ain't no joke up there! Thanks for the shout out.
Thanks, great explanation.
Thanks for the comment, Glad you liked it!
how do u turn it back on?
Just push the button again until the light goes out in the dashboard. It should also turn back on automatically when the car is turned all the way off and back on.
Ben Lindsey Kia Love tell me

Great! been trying to find a detailed explanation of that button. I just upgraded and bought me an 16 Charger and was wondering. Good looking out with this video 👍
Thx
Thanks, enjoy your new ride. Those look great! I know this video keeps growing and growing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A SIMPLE EXPLANATION! The manual is so blasted confusing on this button!
No problem. Thanks for commenting. Yeah most places don't even mention it when you buy a car.
Thanks Ben for answering my car traction control question..... I have RWD on the ATS .... I put extra weight in trunk for snowy days here in West Pa....... I have weight bags over each rear wheel area in trunk..... 120 lbs...each side..... so I have weight on rear axle.....put in in late Nov....take out In March when I feel winter is over.....no worries with traction then......I love to feel and ride of RWD on this car.....she's my princess.....take care....Bob
Thank you! I've rarely been able to get up my steep uphill driveway for the last couple of years and just happened to notice this button a couple of days ago. After three failed attempts at getting up my driveway last night (and three dangerous trips backing down the driveway which has a steep drop on one side), I remembered this button and pushed it. The fourth attempt wasn't easy, but I made it. I thought the button was turning Traction Control on. Thank you for explaining how or actually works!!! I have a feeling there will be less parking at the bottom of the hill this year. :)
That's exactly how my driveway is. Great example. Glad it is working out for you! Thanks- Subscribe!
Weird.....
Thank you very much for the info! Winter time in Chicago, I needed to know this.
No problem! Think about Subscribing, I will be doing more winter driving videos. Thanks for the comment.
you explained very nicely, thanks. I don't have a Kia, mine is a Hyundai, but I learned a lot. Thanks again!
Thank you. I had been telling my customers about it so long, eventually that explanation became the video. Thank you for your comment.
Dude, with that goatee, i was totally expecting a magic trick at the end.
Yeah man! I was doing the shave a little bit off at time...
Hahahaha
You forgot to turn off the traction control on you electric razor : )

Thank you so much for explaning that! Looking forward to more of your videos! Thanks Bro!
Thanks man! Check out my other channel too "Island of Trees" on TH-cam. Thanks for the comment.
Thank You so much for your video! I din't know when my traction control button was on or off. Thanks again
You are welcome! Thanks for commenting. I'm going to be doing a lot more of these kinds of videos. Think about subscribing. Have a great day! - Ben
thank you, i always thought it had to be on, especially for snow and ice
Thanks for watching! Sorry I missed this 3 years ago!! Have a good summer.
Thanks, the stability icon lit while coming to a quick slow down approaching a speed bump.. I had no control. Going to check the manual for my Jeep Patriot 2008 manual transmission. Appreciate!
I think that is normal. I've noticed that happening when I go over a bump, or turn on a steep hill etc. If the wheels bounce or lift up up too high the system senses it and will start engaging the Traction control. This is one of those scenarios where the computer doesn't really know whats going on. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the clear description. We're getting freezing rain and I noticed it engaging at slippery intersection/traffic lights....
Yeah you know its getting slick when it starts coming on all the time. Safe driving and thanks for the comment.
@@BenLindseyKiaLove Yeah, I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot North 5spd manual 4x2. I definitely turn it off when when there's ice on the road. (I'm in Montreal (Canada) we get creepy winters here now.)
Thanks so much I just bought a new juke today and I was never told about what it did . Sir you really helped me 🤗👍🏻
Thanks for commenting. Its a great feature but its nice to be able to turn it off too.
This helped me out a lot, thanks man!
Glad to hear it. Thanks for checking out my videos.
well that's funny, I had no idea my car had this until it showed up on my dashboard saying it was off. We get no snow in here in California... so thank you. I was able to find the button, and so easy to take that light off my dashboard.
Well maybe if you get stuck at the beach, try it out! Thanks for the comment. I love California!
Great explanation! makes the burnout much easier.
Yes it does! Enjoy, and thanks for subscribing!
This is such a helpful video. I just bought a escape and it didnt have the owners manual in it.
Thank you for watching and for the nice comment!
Thanks , been wondering for years how it works. Good to know. Great info.
Glad I could help, thanks for watching and commenting.
Very nice video--very clear and explicit explanation! Thank you.
Hey! Thanks I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Been driving for close to 60 years and during that time, I have driven in some of the most treacherous winter conditions imaginable, all without traction control. To me, traction control is nothing but a crutch for those who wont take the time or don't really want to learn how to drive in adverse conditions. So the first thing I do whenever driving in snowy conditions is to turn off the traction control and trust my driving skills.
You are so right. I love to go out and drive in the worst conditions imaginable. Blowing snow, sleet, ice-covered roads, frozen slush, the works. This further enhances my driving skills, every year. If you can't drive in these conditions, too scared to be behind the wheel, you shouldn't be driving, at all. If you get in and think about getting stuck, you will, stay home.
@@stephenmartini5890 Well said.All these attachments are nothing but crutches for people who aren't willing to really learn how to drive safely in hazardous driving conditions.
Exactly the info i was searching for. Thanks
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Yes, this feature saved me on as lot occasions, thanks Kia for this feature.
It's nice to have it if you need it. Thanks for the comment. - Ben
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Kobe Asher instablaster =)
Thank you! I'm a Texan that's moved to Massachusetts with a 2wd Kia Sorento and was wondering if that button would help me get better handling on snow days like today. This is all pretty new to me! Your video helped tons more than the forums and articles I kept finding.
Be careful up there! Thanks for Subscribing!
Great explanation of Stabil track. You were spot on! Thanks sooo much
No problem. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I used to tell all of my customers shorter versions of that. So this is the full edition that developed from those over ten years... Thanks for the comment.
I have a 2019 Blazer it has a auto shut off when you stop and when you get ready I let my foot off the break the ESC comes on.hopefully this will help turn off the ESC thank you for sharing.. from southeast Louisiana 💜💛
Thank you so very much !!!. I always wondered what it was for. Finally !!!.. Greatly appreciate it.

Straight to the point. Thanks.
Thanks for commenting! - Ben
Great video brother thank you. I just purchased a 2006 sob and I’ve been trying to get information on it’s a SP button and now it specifically works for that make and model. So I wanted to ask if you could reference me to any videos or anyone I could speak to?! I literally just bought this and there’s a lot to figure out apparently. I’m pretty pumped!
I don’t know of any other info. I did sell Saab’s in 2004 though. But that’s been 16 years! Good luck enjoy your car and thanks for watching my channel.
Thank you. I was wondering what it was for.
Thanks for watching. Sorry I missed your comment. Have a great summer.
Thanks dude. Didn't understand how to use this or if I should turn it on or off in my Toyota Rav4.
No Problem. Yeah its best to leave it on, but sometimes you will have to turn it off. It will be rare but its nice to know you can. Thanks for commenting.
Like the self driven cars, a good dream but I wouldn't trust my life to it. I am definitely not a math guy, but there is too many variables or possibilities for it to consider. Similar to stories you have heard about how people getting hopelessly lost thanks to their faith in a GPS. Your video is a simple one, but worth thinking about. Good Job.
I agree. I hope I never have to see it. Self driving cars are too much tech. Siri doesn't even work half the time, hows that going to work!?
thanks for this, really useful.
I love hearing that. TH-cam is such a great tool for all of us to help each other! Maxima Plane thanks for watching! - Ben

I always love a good compliment! Thanks man, I quit the car biz a few years ago. I'm in "software" now. Don't miss the winters but I miss my DEMO! Free car, tires, free brakes. The tranny went out on my demo once and I just threw it in the shop and got something else. Im loaded bro, I see ur Irish . Thanks for the comments. - Ben

No problem 👍
Nice thanks to you know i figured out how to turn it off and do 360 on snow or donuts
Excellent! Yes it works great for that too!
Been searching for a demo of an AWD car (mainly Subaru) going up a muddy or snowy hill with this turned off and on to see the difference. Have not found one yet. Make one and you'll get a like from me. I do like your explanation the best so far, though. Thanks!
Thank you for the compliment. Man I had an Outback L.L. Bean V6 a while back. (Before my Channel) I have a gnarley driveway and I used to rip it up. I can't remember the trac/differential set up but...anyways I sold Subys several times and its all about which diff set up you have. There are some mechanical and some electric and some both. But that makes all the difference with the way your Subaru will interact with the CPU; IE stability track abs etc.. Some of the early 2000's were still mostly mechanical and they really didn't need any electric control! We used to go out to the trade in lot in the snow and try them all out! Anysways I gotta get another brew! Have a good night. Hope that helps your search.
Thanks for the reply, I have a 2014 Outback 2.5i Premium if that helps. I've read about turning the traction control off in snow and muddy conditions but was curious to see what the real difference is. Sounds like your driveway is the ultimate test track 😁
I was just trying it in my 2015 forester, up a shallow hill with slippery mud. Turning the traction control off made it notably faster. Also putting it in Low was better than in High/Normal.
Thank you Great Video Ben❤️👍🏾
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped and have a great new year.
