Traction Control Button - Not lighting up?
« on: 16 July 2014, 09:18 »
Hello guys,

So near the gearstick you have mode, auto stop/ start off and traction control off. All the buttons light up when I press them apart from the traction control off. Is this a fault or is it not meant to?

It would be great if you guys could go press yours and see if you get the orange back light.

Interesting. Is this a design flaw do you think? I see no reason why it shouldn't light up when all the others do. Maybe they missed that small detail off. Anyone else able to test it to see if they changed it at any point?

Mine doesn't light up either build week 19.
Not sure why the button would need to light up as its lit on the instrument panel.
I don't even notice the stop start light or the mode light so would never notice the TC button.

I would imagine it being a safety 'device' that they took the decision to put it prominently on the dash where you shouldn't miss it. Down on the console you could miss that TC is off.
