The button is on the dash- left side
TCS only works up to 16 mph (20km) the disconnects itself
Its purpose is to help traction on ice or snow when starting off the line-
it measures wheel speed and applies the brake to the faster wheel
You can push the button to deactivate until the next time you start the car (it defaults to ON) - for racing starts- push the button so the dash warning light stays ON, that means system is OFF
You can turn it on and off at will with the button

Yes, but pushing that button turns more than the Traction Control off.
It also turns of the VSA which is the part of the system that will try to save your ass if you get a little to "enthusiastic".
Better to leave it on when you're on the street. On the track, where there are no trees, no unsuspecting cars and no blue-haired grandmothers out for a Sunday drive, turn it off.
