driving on MDM, traction control seems to kick in more frequently now than before.

I believe there are adaptations. Drive your car slow for a few days...if you can lol and see what happens.

Yeah..what he said :-) Drive it REAL slow-lol

The car has adaptations that set during the first couple hundred miles of driving. You should drive it like you would normally drive it in both D and S. Sort of makes it impossible to adhere to any break-in. Then again, I hear if you drive it harder it breaks in quicker-lol!
