Hello,

Does the Civic have these? I've read the brochure and it doesn't seem to mention them (EDL = electronic diff lock). EDL is basically where a spinning wheel is braked to force the opposite wheel to turn.
I expect to be driving on slippery surfaces from time to time, so these are important to me!

Cheers,
R.

It doesn't have 'EDL' - but it does have 'VSA', which appears to do the same thing - brakes a wheel which is spinning much faster than the one on the other side :)

It uses the brakes rather than a diff lock I believe, but results in the same thing.

Works well too, from my limited use of it (narrow lanes, pull passenger wheels over onto muddy edge to let a car come past, pull away and VSA starts to flash = clean start) :D

You should take the lead weights out of your right shoe. :p

I very occasionally see the traction control light when I really boot it from a stand, but only briefly, even in the wet.

Leaving it turned off most of the time isn't a very good idea at all. It can be a life saving bit of kit
