Turned off the traction control on my IS 350 FSport while driving this evening and was surprised when I didn't see an indicator light on the console. Is there one? Most vehicles have a warning light when you switch it off.

TIA for an answer.

dont know what TIA stands for but i turn off my trac off often, daily in fact. The TRAC off indicator is digital underneath the your current MPH. It will just say..."TRAC OFF" Holding the trac off button for three seconds will give you the same indication and an amber bulb will light to the left. the symbol is a rear of a car with swerve lines behind it indicating you've also turned off the stability control. This setting is great...

This setting doesnt regulate how much power goes to the rear wheels and actually lets you lose traction. Great for Uturns!! Just hit the gas, turn more than normal (rear end passes 180 degrees a bit) counter steer and keep applying the gas as needed. make sure you are the first one at the stop light. =)
