There's a blanked off button , only noticed it today ... 

[The Red Baron]

shouldnt the TC button be there.

[Carfix]

Just been out and checked on my 1998 2.5 Elite and yes I have a traction control (TC) button in that position.

I recall when looking at Omega's to buy many years ago that some had a large TC button (and a couple of blanking plates) to the left of the radio.

I had a little cubby hole in that position and later added a sat nav screen.

I also remember that some early elites had rear door glass demisters built into the rear doors. The switch may have been in that position. This option was later deleted. Certainly not on my 98 model.


Hope this helps.

3.0l 1998/9 Elites have TC button there, due to the CARiN display being in where the TC button used to sit. Eventually, it made it to that position for other trim levels on MFL

So nothing should be there then

Not on a 97 Elite. 94/95 Elites would have a demister button there

You DO have traction control, your car is a V6, however it looks like the TC switch has been moved. Have you a cubby hole next to the radio?
Besides the TC button is there to turn your traction control OFF

Sat/nav is fitted in cubby hole

Others will confirm ................. I've not taken enough notice of cars earlier than mine, but it's possible that the sat nav didn't get fitted at the factory. Remove the sat-nav screen & look for the large TC button 
I assume that your car is NOT 'mini facelift' ie no audio controls on the steering wheel & solid headrest 

[omega3000]

I got audio controls on steering wheel and solid headrests

I'm sure a miniface lift TC will turn up via the breakers here eventually
