Leave the SR/TD ???

Selective-ride / Traction Control. ) Selective-ride .. controls the ride stiffness .

Traction control is a different thing... unless you want to burn the balonies .. leave it ON.

If you can turn the wheel with the key out of the ignition then the steering column won't lock up on you.... Thats a good thing
