- Does anybody understand the new traction control mechanisms? I've got
- the Passat GLX brochures that describes it only as a low speed
- traction control system. Presumably this means that when in snow or
- such it prevents wheel slippage (by applying brakes on slipping
- wheel???). Is this correct? Does this mean that I will not be able
- to exit tight parallel parking spaces by applying handbrake, turning
- the steering wheel and spinning the front tires? (This is sort of a
- reverse "J" turn).
