I thought we didn't have traction control, or whatever it's called because of the complexity of intergrating it with Hybrids? But tonight I got to drive home shortly after the freezing rain started, luckily the roads only seemed wet, no sliding. So just before home is a short bridge, just to test things out, I was only going 25, I stomped on the brakes. It started to slide (and now I think about it, no grunting or pulsing was felt in the pedal like the mini van did when ABS kicked in) and an orange car with wavey tire trails started flashing on the dash. The minivan had this, Traction control I think it was, but it had an over ride, and I thought it was for accelerationg, not stopping.
So anyway what was the light for? and According to SCIIx I managed
20mpg on this 5mile trip!
10min of sitting tring to warm up to scrape the 1/4" of ice off the windows.
