Are you guys winding me up???

TRACS is switched on*manually*with a button on the dashboard. The indicator lamp*in the button will light up when the system is ON.*With the button in the ON position, TRACS activates automatically if one of the front wheels loses traction.

Hmm, that's not how mine works. It comes on automatically when you turn on the ignition, you need to press the dash button to manually turn it OFF. This is confirmed by the "TRACS OFF" symbol lighting up on the dash display. Next time you turn the ignition on it's defaulted back to "ON".

Mine's a V70 though, surely it's not the other way around on an 850??

Ditto.

Was the same setup on the 850 we once had (N reg T5) and the S70 we currently have. Never had to press a button to turn it on.

That was a direct quote from the 850 manual.

TRACS disengaged (option)


If the TRACS (TRAction Control System) is manually disengaged with the switch on the dashboard, the warning light will come on. This will also come on to indicate a TRACS malfunction, and when the brakes overheat, although it goes out again at the normal temperature level. If the lamp remains on, the system should be checked by an authorized Volvo retailer. This lamp should not be confused with the ON/OFF indicator lamp above the switch. See page 2:9 for additional information.

A - TRAction Control System (TRACS) - option


TRACS is a system designed as an aid when starting/driving off if one of the drive wheels has poor traction due to weather conditions or the road surface and is connected to the ABS control module.
TRACS engages automatically at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h) when one of the drive wheels loses traction. It disengages automatically when speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). The sound which can be heard when the system is operating comes from the ABS system.
TRACS can be disengaged manually using the switch on the dashboard. The indicator light will come on.

The way the system works, is that when the vehicle is started, and no tracs light is on the dash, the system is automatically on the on position. If you turn the switch off, the tracs light will light up orange, and there for the system is turned off.
If you also read your owners manual, it also confirms this.
