How to turn traction control off?

[TheScoobyCollector]

Hi all,

I own a 2013 fiesta ecoboost titanium x and was wondering how to turn the traction off? I looked in the manual which says to go through the settings but I couldn't find an option to turn it on or off. 

If anyone has any ideas please share.

Regards,

Yep it's in the radio settings. It's there, keep looking.

Why would you want to turn it off, its a safety feature.

I found traction control to be a terrible nuisance when trying to move slowly uphill in a traffic queue on an icy slope. The tiniest bit of slippage and power was cut off.

The subject was discussed on this forum years ago. So far as I can remember I think some Fiestas have a switch, some can have a switch added, some people advised pulling out a fuse ....there didn't seem to be a single solution to fit every Fiesta.

It's a pain the backside for a hill near me which has had them little stones put all over the top of it, it's a steep hill so trying to carefully accelerate with traction control on is annoying constant power cutting (not exactly power cutting but feels awful) then coming back made it dangerous so I have it off when driving around that area. But for pretty much everywhere else I have it on

Thanks for your explanations I understand now.

In the owners manual of my previous car ( a Citroen C4) it suggested turning off the traction control in icy conditions.

Yes i put a switch in my pre-facelift as it had me on a black icy road on a corner,just missed gutter as it cut my power.

Off it goes in icy roads as i want control myself not a robot.
