    Yes..Try hitting it once it might light up the auto-LSD but from what i know it turns on automatically when it's needed. The button is just to turn off all the traction aids.

    gotcha, thanks.


    so really the only reason to turn off traction control and a-lsd is to do donuts, correct?

    Probably cause LSD is illegal & Toyota won't support that, Not that there's anything wrong with it.

    Yes exactly.. But also on slippery surfaces like snow and ice going up a hill you'll need to turn the son b off or it will stop you from going up in 4 wheel drive; It's quite alarming if you ever run into this it feels like your bottoming out on the ground, but what's really happening is the traction cutting and modulating power to stop you from sliding back down.
