Default Lexus are lying about the traction control !

I tried disabling the traction control by pressing and holding the traction control button and I got that yellow warning . Anyway I also have done the pedal dance and maaaaan!....... its a different car , the car was burning rubber from 1st to 2nd gear . I think after taking the traction off by the button there is still at least 20% of the electronic nannies are enabled .

In the video it states it only stays off until you restart the car.

....really? Did you try pressing the button again to see what happens?

I think after taking the traction off by the button there is still at least 20% of the electronic nannies are enabled .
I participated in a Lexus event and was able to tear it around a track - I can tell you that even IF there is still some stability control, you can easily powerslide through turns....we ended up spinning out a couple times at first.

I thought Lexus disable that on an update, it still work on 2014? I just tried it on my 350 F, but didn't work, maybe I did it wrong?

I tried it on my IS350 F sport this morning, and it works. But just wondering what's the different by pressing and holding traction button for 3 seconds, and doing the pedal dance?
