So to turn it off for an 07-08 you hold it down for 5 seconds? How do you know when its off?

Both the trac and VSC lights will light up on the dash. When you see both lit then you know it's off.

Can someone iterate the steps with the hand brake? I'm never sure what position I should have it in when I switch from hand brake to pedal brake...
