In all honesty, I just treat the traction control on my FR-S 6MT like a toggle switch. Most of the time if I want it off I would just hold down the left button ~5 sec so all the traction/VSC lights come on. But seems like there are various degrees of disabling using combinations of the TRAC button and the right VSC button, but seems like it should/would affect the Auto more than the MT.

I have noticed something recently that got me curious, my left traction control button is intermittent when I simply press it momentarily while driving. Sometimes the TRAC OFF light would come on but other times nothing happens. Not sure when it is allowed and when it isn't allowed to come on. The long 5 sec press still works every time to turn all nannies off. Any idea?
