Default vsc off

ok, so pressing the button once and then holding it for 10 secs. does this disable everything 100%?? i did this and a buddy of mine tried to do some drifting and he said he can feel the diff locking up and the car doesn't disable vsc 100%. can anyone enlighten me about this?

Press and release = TRAC Off, VSC On, ABS On.
Press and hold for 3 seconds = TRAC and VSC Off, ABS On.

Essentially yes, with TRAC and VSC off, everything is off. It is entirely off.

no, i dont think its off 100%. there are three lights, one on the display saying trac off, one on the left side of the cluster, and one on the right side of the cluster. the one of the right needs to come on too.

Yes, the cars don't have LSD unless you are willing to put an aftermarket one, then yes.

Press and release it desables TRAC but VSC remains on; Hold it for 3 seconds and both TRAC and VSC will be disabled...

That light tells you when the VSC or TRAC is operating. When VSC and TRAC are off, it will not come on.

Your ISx50 has a semi-LSD, that is there is a preload mechanism that provides some of the characteristics of an LSD at low speed/low torque. This helps if you get stuck, but does virtually nothing at higher speeds (this would include 'doing donuts').

I'm sorry, that doesn't make any sense.

Can you rephrase the question?
