Hi all

I have a 2019 Stinger GT Carbon Edition RWD in Australia.

I went to the track today and although traction control and stability control were both turned off, the traction control was still kicking in. I have done plenty of research online and there is a lot of conflicting information. The closest I came to working out is this article but it seemed to be a US website so not sure if it applies to Aussie models. This site won't allow me to paste a link but here is the gist of it...

START

Leadfoots needed: The 2020 Kia Stinger GTS is only as restrained as the driver’s right foot.

That’s according to its program manager, Eddie Rayyan, who says when the four-door hatchback goes on sale later this year, the 2020 Stinger GTS will be the first Kia sold with fully defeatable traction control systems. Everything (can be) off...drivers can shut off all the nannies, and choose exactly what they want to do,” he said Tuesday.

That’s in contrast to the Stinger’s current relationship with its drivers, which gives them a long leash, but one that still reins in the car’s famously happy tail.

END

Does anyone here have a pre 2020 Stinger in Australia and can turn it off completely? You will only know this if you have done track/driftwork.

Thanks.
