It's a little different than just holding the Trac button for 3 seconds. It turns off the same things those systems turn off but then also turns off the brake functions which are electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist (panic stop). It doesn't seem to turn off ABS, and I'm not sure what else it might turn off.
EBD is used to make sure wheels do not lock up under braking and also works with the VSC system. Instead of having a prop valve setting F/R bias the system can figure out how much force is needed at each wheel.
The brake assist will monitor the rate you are pushing the pedal down and if it's a high enough rate, it will apply the brakes full on for you since it assumes you are trying to stop the car.
I was going to create a cheat sheet for the sequence to put in the car, but after you do it a couple times it's pretty quick.
Anyone know how it determines if the vehicle is "warmed up?" I assume it's based off coolant temp/oil temp or both.
