ASC is on when the light is off - and off when the light is on

So its off when its on then , nae wunner a canny wheel spin where is the GTF switch then :question:

You should have an ASC switch, in your toggle switch panel, flick that and your yellow (definitely yellow) light on your instrument will light up. When the light is on the ASC+T is off

Yeah it stands for Automatic stability control + Traction and effectively prevents front wheel spin

I think I need to get this.
Pulled out of a junction yesterday into the path of a slow moving van and booted it - wheelspin in 1st and 2nd gear resulted in me almost getting "Ford transit" stamped on my rear bumper! :I:clown:

I've almost had a similar experience with the DSC on. When the cars cold it stumbles and almost stalls in front of the oncoming car or bus!!
