3. Pump the brake pedal 2 times, continue to depress it on the second pump.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you see the traction control light turn on.

So basically brake pump, brake pump and hold, parking brake tap, parking brake tap and hold, and so on.

The pedal dance turns off the "nannies" on the car until you shut it off. Holding down the traction control button will only disable the traction control but you will retain the eLSD. I believe it was posted somewhere here not too long ago.

Press the button and it turns off Traction Control. Hold it down and it turns off Stability Control as well. The ELSD function remains active. The pedal dance is the only thing that turns off the ELSD and leaves the ISF a true one-wheel wonder (and why would you want this unless you hate your tires). There is a discussion regarding this in the thread below:
