the button to control it is on the left side of the dash. it says VSA. you can turn it on and off. it's automatically on every time you start the car.

Replace the SHITTY stock Michelin tires it is the best thing I ever did. I'm sure everyone else can vouch for that as well.

First day I got my comptech springs I put the car sideways around a turn, scared the shit out of me. bought 18s with Pirelli PZero Rossos shortly after. These have never given up on me in a corner, ever. And I've cornered 3 times as hard as I did that day with the Michelins.

Everything improves with good tires .. braking, launches, handling is MUCH improved, you will feel much safer and confident especially in the rain! Do yourself the favor.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way Congrats on the purchase of your CL-S, lots of luck with it. You definately came to the right forum if you have any questions about your car.

Where did you get your car?

Definately get rid of the tires, I just changed from Dunlop to some Pilot Sport A/S tyres, definately better, even the dunlops were better than stock, but wear was horrible.

love them all you want, just love them off the car. they are unsafe. I felt safer in my explorer on the 32in nitto terragrapplers.

you'll get the free Ninja Smoke screen feature of them tho after you get the supercharger. Hit the gas and you disappear in a white cloud.
