When all safety nannies remain active (COMFORT mode and SPORT mode), those would permanently cut power to your wheels because those wheels keep slipping through, making it difficult and frustrating to get you out of a slippery surface. As the name says, TRACTION mode will give you traction under those slippery road conditions. Once you get away, activate the safety nannies again (COMFORT mode or SPORT mode). If you want TRACTION mode just to get fun sounds (burbles), only activate that mode when cruising at low speed.

I see we think the same way Artemis ! Thanks - that description is crystal clear ! In fact I suspect that, above a certain speed, Traction mode is automatically disabled because it did this several times when I was driving. Actually all this is probably unnecessary when I get my Fabspeed sports cat and muffler bypass installed !!! There will be a god-forsaken racket 100 % of the time
