[QUOTE="paynecasey, post: 11858666, member: 127309"] I don't you know exactly works. No offense. [URL="http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/12/2012-ford-focus-torque-vectoring-control-explained.html"]How it works[/URL] It's not entirely based on traction to kick in. And it's not an on off switch, it's adjustable. And after speaking with Tanner Foust, it's my understanding you will want it turned on for "spirited driving." It was designed for aggressive driving and to help power through turns. Basically Tanner, whom I'm sure knows more about this than any of us, said the computer tracks your speed and how hard your turning. It applies the inner brake based on those factors. He also said for racing purposes, if all the manufactures had this tech, they'd all be using it "IN RACING." I can find a video of him talking about it if you like. Basically, leave it turned on when driving hard to help prevent understeer in the turns. It's not entrly a wheel slip assistant on rainy days like other forms of traction control. [/QUOTE]
