Default Traction control Mod ?

Just caught this on the FEH board. Anyone have any info ?

Toyota has just announce a TC, Traction Control, sub-mode, available ONLY on the RWD or R/AWD vehicles. The new sub-mode will allow some level of wheelspin/slip in the event that is what is needed to get unstuck or up and moving initially.

No, or not likely, FWD or F/AWD wheelspin/slip due to engine torque is far too hazardous to be playing around with.
