I have a 2021 CX-5 GTR. I noticed there is an off road traction button but no TCS button. Does that mean I can't turn off the TCS? In the owner's manual it refers to a TCS button but it must be for the lower trims. Anyone know the answer to my question? Thanks.
It looks like starting in 2020 TCS was renamed off-road traction assist. The "hill climbing" button appears to do the same thing TCS is supposed to do.
Another all-new feature on the 2020 CX-5 is off-road traction assist, which replaces the traction control button and can potentially help the driver when adventuring on uneven terrain. When the diagonal wheels lose traction, off-road traction assist will stop reducing the engine torque and increase the brake force on the wheels without traction. This transfers power to the wheels still on the ground to help allow the vehicle to regain traction and continue the drive.
My 2021 GT-P does not have the TCS button either, only the off road traction assist. Maybe the TCS is lower trim lines that don't have off-road?
I thought they were different things. TCS button would turn off traction control altogether while the off road button would help the way you described.

Generally, you want traction control off when you are off road, though I certainly don't consider the CX5 and off road vehicle.
