As a sensible driver, the ONLY TIME you would want to turn off traction control is when you're traveling up a steep hill where the surface feels loose because of gravel and stones OR trying to get your car unstuck from the mud.
When should you turn off traction control?
For example, it's better to keep it off if you get stuck in the mud, sand, or even snow. If you find yourself spinning wheels, using traction control could do more harm than good. If left on, the traction control would slow down how much your car tires spin.
Should I leave my traction control on or off?
When turned off, you may notice that your vehicle handles differently than you are used to when driving on slippery surfaces. This is why you should leave your traction control on at all times.
