Re: SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
Actually, that was a pretty dumb response. I have no idea how steep your
driveway is or how much snow you are talking about.
I was able to drive up a twisty unplowed street that is a 12% grade at its
worst in about 7 inches of fresh snow.

For CT references: I had no problems driving it in snow/ice around the

go home to visit. I drove from West Hartford to T-town in an ice-storm
one Xmas and I had no problems. My sister in Litchfield has a *nasty*
steep driveway. Smooth and steady and the SF would drive right up when
snow-covered.

Re: SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
Zeppo,
Actually thats pretty close to my driveway about12% plenty of snow and
600 feet long. Toughest thing is you can't get a straight shot into the
driveway apron. You have to slow down to turn in, can't get any
momentum up.
I'm curious to see how the traction control functions. On the uplander
power to the wheel shuts down and and seems to modulate in a attempt to
gain traction. {very noisy too) You loose ability to spin the tires.
Personally I think the chevy system is crummy, the traction control
kicks in even in a light rain. on a flat road.
Thanks, Bill

It's not the Chevy system that's crummy - it's your tires. Traction control
only activates when a tire breaks loose. It's not smart enough to know that
your tires are about to break loose.
