They mention in several places it can be turned off. Doesn't every vehicle with traction control have an override button? I don't think I've seen one yet that didn't.

My '03 Cobra had a traction control button. That was part of the startup procedure....start car, hit button. Got so I didn't even know I was doing it! I did sometimes turn it on in the rain though....

if it's like all the other traction controls it cuts back the throttle/power the instant it detects slip. supposedly good for adverse/slick road conditions.

It works great on my 2004 Expedition. I tried to spin out and it wouldn't let me do anything, but go straight ahead. I buried the throttle and the Expy just creeped at or slightly below the current speed through the icy patch until all four tires were spinning at the same speed. It works even in 2WD.
