Does that picture light on whenever you turn on the car? If it does, you might have traction control on your car, you just probably don't have the switch, or it could be something else, but that's all I've know it to be.

If you don't have a TCS/VSC switch.. then you didn't get traction control.

Um... I believe that even without traction control, your car will tell you when the tires aren't gripping right. But I'm not sure... I don't have TCS on mine either, and I've never seen that...

There is no means for the car to know. No computer to figure out slip.

That is stability control. Traction control has the TRAC light on the dash. Our Solora has traction, but not stability, i think.

the button should be on the under the steering wheels to the left near the fuse box.
that's where mine is on my SE V6.

thank you all for your responses. I appreciate it very much. i have checked underneath the left side of the steering wheel and there are no buttons. one of you guys said that the car may come with traction control and i believe it because there have been some situations so far with this car i have suprisingly been able to prevent her from spinning when peeling out. so maybe its there. my next question to all of you is how could i boost this car up 15hp ? is there a cat-back muffler system for this car? a airintake system? i plan on buying a tornado to start. i'm also worried about voiding my warranty. help!!!!! peace!!!!

15 hp without voiding the warranty? Tornado? Please don't touch your car... it never did anything to hurt you.

15hp on a v6 your elooking at a complete exhaust (not just a crap-back, youll want downpipes and possibly heders -- looking between 500-1000USD) and some form of fuel/ignition management - ignition being a bitch on newer engines)

just get a wet nos kit, instand 50hp.
