Do we have TRACS? TRACS vs DSA S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Alberto on  Thu Dec 21 02:16 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Ok... I've seen posts alluding to the 40 series having TRACS. I've reviewed the owner's manual and you can look up TRACS but there is actually no reference to it in the actual text, you get pointed to info about DSA.

Volvo, on their site lists TRACS as a feature. So... do all 40s have TRACS and if so then is DSA not a requirement to have TRACS. I know how DSA works (it's all over the manual plus many car makes use similar systems as an inexpensive drive wheel spin control), and I've read about TRACS (more sophisticated in that it actually uses ABS sensors and brakes to control the spinning tire to force more to the driving tire).

Is TRACS exclusive of DSA? And, if you get DSA is it considered a part of TRACS?
