Today, it was raining, so I turned VDC off and did a few minor drifts through corners and turns. I noticed occasionally the slip indicator light would come on and blink momentarily. According to the user manual the light blinks only if the VDC is on and it has activated to prevent loss of control just to warn the driver that the car is at its traction limit. That being said, why would the indicator light come on if I had the VDC off? I didn't notice any vdc activity, so it seems that it was off. But the slip light came on. What does it mean? Is it just a warning light to the driver or does it indicate that part of the vdc traction control system is still functional?
