Default Traction Control

I just bought my xf and notice the "traction control" is faintly illuminated. Is that normal? Or should it be completely out? When I switch it off it gets brighter.


It is barely noticeable.......but wanted to know if there was a problem.

you have a problem.... it will light up if you are slipping...like spinning the tires but shouldn't be lit unless off...

If you turn the TC off you'll see the light. What I think you may be seeing is the TC image appears to be faintly lit during bright daylight. Drive it at night with the TC on if you still see a faint image, you have a problem..........not with the TC but some other light bleeding into the TC image.

I think you broke the code....it is noticeable in the sunshine with the top down......I'm in Florida right now and have had the top down all the time.
