You want to turn traction control off when driving in snow. Especially if you have chains on.

Hopefully, with AWD and traction control, you can avoid the chains.

Add: I’ll take a Subaru, Audi, or AWD Acura w/winter tires w/control in the mountains.

You want traction control off in both cases. With it on, it will apply the breaks and if you hit a slippery spot it will send you into a slide.

Applying the break on the appropriate wheel in order to maintain traction is simply how traction control systems work.
