Assuming your car is a 2007 or newer-

Hold down the button for a few seconds (until two lights light up on the dash).

That's it.

(if you just press it momentarily then it'll turn back on at 30 mph)

Becareful with Oversteering and run out of the corner. I had an experienced of that action at BRC circuit.

It is my good luck. That beside corner is an area with grass not wall or water...

finally busted the donuts and drifted almost into an accident. Fortunately I recovered before almost hitting the curb. Fun but scary, also had all the homies in the car with me. Man they were scared ****less. Thanks for the help everyone.
