If you are in MDM mode and want traction control ON, just press the DSC button once without holding it, and it this should turn off the MDM light and the DSC light You can also go into your i-Drive to configure individual configuration of the M1 or M2 buttons to you liking

that is exactly what i want to do. i want the no traction light on and the mdm light off meaning i have no traction control right? all i can do is get mdm and car with skid marks light on at same time or both off at same time. i dont think ive held the trac button for 8 seconds ill try that first

yeah no that doesn't work. I can either press the traction button that is on the surround of the gearshift knob and it will turn on the MDM light and the car with the skidmarks symbol and if I press it again it will cut them both off there is no way for me to turn MDM off and keep track control off. I'm so confused. but when MDM light is on it lets me spin plenty

If you hold down the button by the shifter knob for like 5 seconds they both will be off. On the dash it will show you traction off and mdm light will disappear (meaning it's off)

Did you try programming it into an M1/M2 memory and then activating M1/M2 to see if it works that way? |

Your car is some wrong whit acc coding. Try to put this mdm seting on and push acc on. Car should take off acc automatic. If that works fine someone is coding your car that you can’t take all traction control off and this code have to change.

i'm so glad you made that video because now I know for certain that something isn't working or could this be supposedly previous owner coded it to have European MDM? Because I mean it's like no traction control for me seemingly but yeah I need to go to the dealer

The manual is confusing on this issue but it seems to be saying that if the "car with slippery road no off" icon is lit all the time, either with the MDM or "car with slippery road with off" icons, there is a system fault.
I think you said you have car w/slippery no off icon, which means fault. The other icon maybe tells which system DSC or MDM is bad. |
