I would leave it on. However, if your car gets stuck, turn it off. You'll never get out if you don't let the tires spin. Only then do you have a chance.. on one of my sibling's cars he had a traction control that couldn't be turned off and the few times it got stuck in the snow, he could never get out.

sounds good. well what happened was that when i started moving my VSA warning light was flashing and i didnt have much traction at all. so i was just wondering if the VSA was messing it up.
