During the delivery overview of our Acadia, its controls and systems, the salesman pointed out the Traction Control Disable Button on the dash. When asked when it could/should be used, he said that TC is to help out in snow and ice, and that on dry days its best to leave it off.
This doesn't make sense to me. I can't imagine that they'd design a system that's best left off and needs to be manually enabled in inclement weather. If this was the case, the polarity of the button would be reversed and it'd be an "enable TC" button. I've left TC enabled, assuming it was a case of the salesman being misinformed (which would be unprecedented, huh?)
What's the official word?
