Hi all I took my 2016 Hilux SR5 4x4 onto the sand at Stockton Beach a week ago. After a little driving on the sand, in high range 4x4, the traction control started kicking in and I would regularly lose power (and make a terrible noise) as the car slid over/through the sand. Naturally, I then turned traction control off. The display message on the dash confirmed that traction control was off. But within a couple of minutes of driving it turned itself back on - even though the dash still said that it was off. How do I turn traction control completely off? What am I missing? Is this a high range 4x4 mode vs a low range 4x4 mode issue? Any advice / thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
