I just read this and just about died laughing. Who comes up with this stuff?
"For 2006 IS models, the stability control system/traction control system can be disabled through non-conventional methods by using a code during engine start. This involves starting the car with the parking brake engaged, releasing the parking brake, pushing the brake pedal twice, holding it on the second push, engaging the parking brake twice, holding it on the second, and repeating until the vehicle traction light appears on the dash. This will effectively disable the system until the car is turned off."
Reminds of me the Konami UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A-START code from the video games.

is this serious or is this some kind of a joke? I have a 2006 250 and I have a little button beside my "snow" button that turns traction off...is that not it? im confused now.

It's serious. The button on the dash invokes a "traction control off" mode that automatically cancels at 30 MPH. The pedal dance disable traction control until the ignition is switched off.
