TRACS.... On or Off ?? S70 98

posted by  someone claiming to be Fred Bickford on  Tue Sep 25 02:09 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am wondering if on perfect highway conditions(dry warm road), should I have TRACS turned off ?, I have it presently engaged[By Default I think] on E...

Would TRAC dis-engagement help on my mileage...

    TRACS only works below 25 MPH on 98s. It uses the ABS to help

    control wheel spin. Basically, this only works in snow, rain

    and simular conditions (it is not meant to keep the wheels from

    spinning if you floor it).

    So, leave it on. It won't hurt milage. Also, on a 98 if you turn

    it off it turns itself back on every time you start the car (so

    you would always have to remember to turn it off).
