The VSC Sport button (if that's what you're referring to) doesn't turn everything off. It decrrases their sensitivity and will let you wiggle the tail a little bit, but it still keeps things in check and will activate the controls to reign the car back in before you can get into trouble. It's almost like bicycle training wheels. The car will not let you wipe out in that state unless you drive sideways through a puddle the size of a small lake.
The Sport button in the center (above the Snow button) makes the transmission stay in each gear longer before shifting. Basically it takes the car out of its normal mode of trying to be econimical and goes for giving you as much acceleration as you can get out of the first 4 gears (...if you manage to run through all of 4th gear, you'd better be at a huge racetrack, lol). But that Sport button by itself does nothing to the traction control system.
If it's not what you're doing already, push the VSC Sport button and then the Sport button for the transmission. You should see two green lights and one Amber one on the right side of your cluster. Try that out and see what you think.
