Yellow warning on speedometer

So yesterday, I was turning a turn and took it to deep so my rear right wheel got up the curb and a yellow warning like skidding show on the monitor on my speedometer. I was like, "ups...!!" I hoped there's nothing serious with this ><

Anyone know anything about the yellow warning?? Perhaps when you guys have snow.

You can hold the ASC button to turn that off but you better hang on to that steering wheel if your driving in the snow or if it just starts to rain!!!

Have you read the book that came with the car? I think its called the owners manual. A lot of valueable information in there.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I'm lucky if I can get it to come on even in the rain

I'm doing 120km/h on a 70km/h turn and never got that yellow warning before >< I'm just shocked I thought something's wrong with the car. LOL being too careful here.

@hanz17 : I don't accept sarcasm for an answer, but ya I did read the manual when that happened but found nothing that could answer my question.

That is the traction control light. The computer will limit acceleration and brake the wheel, or wheels, on whatever part is losing traction. Try taking a 90 degree corner at 100km/h with the ASC on and you'll see exactly what it does. Then try it again with it off for more enjoyable driving!

I couldn't believe how much of a difference turning ASC off made. I got on the throttle going into a turn and had to let off because of how much the back end broke free. Reminded me of my old Z.

Lowering it will help a lot. But carrying speed into a corner and about halfway through if you punch it in 2nd once it hits boost the back end will start to come around. Especially in the rain.

No need it's all on how you drive it! If you jerk the wheel hard right in a corner this car just plows, but if you ease it in you can usually find more grip, then gas it, and before you know it the rear steps out. Make sure you are in tarmac mode as well as this mode sends a bit more power to the rear end
