My 2008 FWD has traction control. It came on yesterday when I was stopped and was hitting the gas a little too hard when i was pulling out of my driveway. I could feel what I assume was the brakes coming on to keep things from sliding.

I think they have some of the features of traction control, they just couldn't get all the features to work so they couldnt call it traction control.

In any case, I was very pleased with the handling in the 1/2 of ice we got yesterday.

The motor shutting off to go into EV is great for these conditions.

Find an open icy parking lot and push on the gas a little, you will see the green light come on as you start sliding.
