outtahere

I'll have to dig out the manual. I tried pressing the traction button yesterday to see how it would feel, but it wouldn't work. My Journey is an automatic, so maybe it will have to be out of drive?

Thanks all! I'll have to give it a try. Can't hurt - feeling the car trying to take over in weird directions is just a little unsettling!

I'm new to being on a forum and hope I don't tick anyone off by joining in here. It seemed to be the appropriate discussion to get advice from.. I am wondering if anyone has tried turning off the traction control for icy roads? Background: the northern Alberta roads, especially highways go through several periods of extreme ice buildup because they don't use salt, instead some calcium product is used that results in a nice thick layer of ice. That would be another topic for up here! My Journey handles wonderfully on snow and a normal smattering of ice, but on this thick layer, gets "squirmy". Speed is not the issue. I have seen on the forums that people have brought up this issue, but usually get shot down for not driving to conditions. This is definitely the only vehicle that I have driven that has this feel to it. Just wondering what other people have done that have experienced this, and if turning off the traction 'button' helps if anyone has tried it. I feel that the issue is the AWD system trying to steady the vehicle.
