Slip light??

Slip light??
So just wondering if you guys activate the slip light a lot. Even in "normal" driving around town the light comes on an aweful lot. My biggest complaint is when I am at a red light, and need to make a left turn as traffic is coming. The car pulls forward and then power is cut and the light starts blinking. Very annoying. I know the system is doing what it is supposed to, but still annoying at times. I wish the car would just depend on the AWD and stop cutting power or tripping the brakes. I think our stability control needs selectable threshold levels.

Good point. I actually never even shut it off becuase it's not like I think of it. Good to know there is a module to leave it off. I really only want it on when it's raining or in the snow.

u get it on the X because its not a full time all wheel drive like a scooby or audi.
the front kicks in when it needs it, IE as when the back slips out.
so when your 4wd kicks in, vdc also kicks in because they have the same triggering mechanism.
turn vdc off and hammer it and you will hear the back chirp a lil, that's the split second that your car is only RWD.

Okay I did some searching and this is what I came up with.
So I guess we are both right, an AWD system that is biased towards RWD... but it seems like you're more correct since he said 100% of the power will be sent to the rear during full throttle.

I also believe that the car will send 100% of the power to the rear wheels in the standard mode if you decide to go full throttle. In times where there is no traction, the AWD system will adjust itself accordingly, just putting it in snow mode means that the probability of wheel slippage is reduced slightly.
