Why would you want to test vdc off on a platform that you are not acquainted to and in the wet on the road?
Find an empty parking lot fella.

Nah, he should do like all the other fools do, VDC off on a wet road in front of a bunch of his friends... Instant YouTube hit...

I like to drive without VDC, but only when it's totally dry. And for the winter I just bought a Jeep.

My combo is the Z and a Dodge Dakota AWD, with a cap. I have tons of storage. I do like to drive off road now and again.

Where is the VDC switch and how do you turn it on and off?

Motionmagic · 09-10-2014, 04:09 PM

Its to the left of the steering wheel on the dash. Button has 'VDC' on it. Press it and you'll see a VDC Off" light come on in your RPM gauge. Look in your manual.

VDC/TCS seem to be interchangeable terms.

RPM gauge = Tach or Tachometer
