How do you know when ETC is on?

[El Rey]

On my 110, there's an 'Off' switch for electronic traction control that seemingly does nothing when pressed. No lights on the dash, no sound.

When I read the manual and Land Rover's online guide it says ETC is automatically on and will engage when needed, at which point you'll see a light on the dash. But it says nothing about how to tell whether or not ETC is even on or not in the first place.

Anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi mate,

To save my lazy bum from going to get the manual, where's your "off" switch?

I don't have an answer for your question, but my own experience with ETC on my 2014 model 110 is that I just notice a little wheel spin, and simultaneously as I get traction the little light comes on in the instrument panel for just a moment.

I didn't do anything to turn it on or off at any time.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

There is no switch to turn it off

I have a MY15 110 and I have no way of 'switching off' the Electronic Traction Control. It is always on and works well!!

So - what "Off" switch do you have for ETC?

The closest thing I have to a description of turning ETC off is a "DSC" switch (Dynamic Stability Control).

When on Sand it is a good thing to turn it off - when you restart the car it defaults to On.

Cheers,
Col.

Cheers - according to the manual, this is the off switch for the traction control.
I have only pressed it when stopped, to see what happened - which was nada.

Ahh that's probably what that button is. Thanks for the clarification.

I was reading the manual in bed, so maybe my head got fuzzy.

Yep - that is the DSC button

hold it for a few seconds and watch the dash light.

Cheers all - I will see you at my next '...rather be an idiot for 5 minutes than a fool forever' moment.

And here I was thinking my burn out button was broken
