There should be a TCL OFF switch by the driver's right knee.

But if yours is a manual, you won't have TCL anyway.

if nev is right (i have not ever considered this so i don't know) and a PFL manual does not have TCL you don't need a switch to turn it off or a way to remove it as you don't have it.
so don't worry about it.
if nev thinks this is the case then i a sure it will be.

TCL=Traction ContoL

AYC moves power around between rear wheels to help the car corner on the right line. Drive into a corner at medium speed, then plant your foot on the accelerator. AYC bars should light up and the car should accelerate, but you shouldn't have to fight the steering wheel, it should just power through the corner.

ahh that makes sence ..cheers
what happens when it makes grinding/scretching noises when the bars light up ...what could be the problem when it does that ??

Often it means the ayc fluid in the diff is knackered - there are clutches in there to allow the torque transfer. The clutches start making a bad noise if the fluid is old. I'd change the fluid asap as the noise almost certainly means you are wearing it all out faster than you should be.

AYC oil needs changing. Take it to a dealer and get them to do it

if you just leave it will trash the clutches and you will have to replace the diff.
