Do you mean the traction control? if so switch it off. I have had my ST for 4 years and never had a problem. What kind of issues are you having

The button must do something, hence its there. Perhaps it just tones it down a little. I turned mine off on bonfire night when i got stuck in a field and it was definitely off, loads of power, plenty of wheel spin and i managed to get off the field. With the traction control on it was useless just cut the power as i started to climb the bank and i just got stuck.

You might need to get it fitted to the saff depending on the spec .

Good luck with your cossy ownership, are you going for a 2wd or 4x4
