Traction control guidance system for providing guided traction control settings based on vehicle friction conditions. The traction control guidance system is configured to receive data relating to friction conditions experienced by the vehicle. The traction control guidance system is configured to compare the friction data to recommended traction control setting stored in memory according to a traction control setting guidance profile and provide to a user/driver the recommendations for traction control settings to be activated as traction control setting guidance. If the user/driver accepts the traction control setting guidance, this will cause a vehicle controller to activate the traction control settings according to the traction control settings included in the traction control setting guidance. In this manner, the user/driver is presented with recommended traction control settings to be activated for the current friction conditions of the vehicle without having to manually determine and set the desired traction control settings.
