Replying to: kiawah (Oct 25, 2007 9:16 am) So would you recomend VSC in Camry LE? I'll have to wait few weeks for LE w/ VSC.

Replying to: iplanet (Oct 25, 2007 9:56 am) To me it's a safety feature that I hope never gets invoked (and because I've paid for it probably won't), and it's a feature that will become standard and gov't mandated in the next couple years. I got it for safety, but resell certainly is a potential consideration as well. |

Replying to: iplanet (Oct 25, 2007 6:06 pm) Look at it this way, if you're in a situation wherein carefully "feathering" the throttle yourself, in order to maintain traction, would not get you moving then TC will be of no help, a hindrance really. Basically that's all TC is, an artificial method of preventing the engine from developing so much torque that wheelspin results. If a driven wheel slips due to low roadbed surface traction TC will apply braking while simultaneously dethrottling the engine. |

Replying to: iplanet (Oct 25, 2007 6:06 pm) But my advice is still to get VSC (and the traction control) that goes with it. You're not likely to get stuck in a front-wheel drive car in the first place. Plus you can disable the VSC/TC if you must using the "magic formula" Kiawah mentions. Much more importantly, VSC can save your bacon. Read this for more details.

Replying to: 210delray (Oct 26, 2007 4:52 pm) To disable the VSC on the 07 Camry....... 1.) Start the car with parking brake on. 2.) all within 30 seconds, depress and release the brake pedal twice. 3.) immediately, de-activate and re-engage the parking brake twice. 4.) the VSC/trac light on the dash will light, the VSC/trac is now deactivated until you restart the car. I've driven in ice storms with the car with no problem, but never large snow drifts where you would actually "want" to spin the tires (for some unknown reason). I've never had to ever turn the VSC off. Don't remember who the original poster was, to give proper credit. Just print these instructions out and keep them in your owners manual. |
