The traction control button is in the center consol under the slidable arm rest. You press it once for half off and hold the button for 5 seconds to completely turn it off

MY GS460 shifts automatically on S-Mode too, however it will bounce off the rev limiter if there is wheel spin. I think this was applied to 08+ models, since my friend has full control over his GS430.

Maybe I'm not going full throttle in 1st so that's why it isn't shifting up on its own. When I had a loan IS250 i noticed when I switched to S-mode the numbers changed to whichever gear it was on. I also noticed that it automatically shifted for me at times. I drive a RWD and mine defaults to 4th gear at low speeds and higher speeds. I tested by switching into S-mode at 65mph and at 80mph and both times it changed to 4th.

Mine is exactly the same way. The first time I lost traction and won't shift, I thought something was broken. I brought it in to the dealer, and the mechanic told me it's by design. So, now, when ever this happens, I quickly switch to manual mode, and then back to auto mode, and it resumes normal shifting.
