It should come on after you turn off the engine. At least thats what I've come to know.

Solito's correct, and I know this from experience tonite. I was doing some testing with/without DSC and Traction Control on. When you turn the engine off for a few seconds, then turn it on..DSC and traction control is back on. BTW, here were 'my' findings.

With DSC and Traction Control off:
slightly smoother shifts for some reason
slightly better acceleration.

BTW: some people dont know how to turn traction control off, to do so...press and hold the DSC button for around 5-7 seconds...after that he 'swirvy back end light' comes on above ur tach.

definately better accelleration - thanks to this forum or I'd have no idea I could even turn traction control off. ....

Even more fun take the 8 out on one inch of snow with stock tires and try racing an Escort.

I finally realized that the "DSC off" button must really be taken literally. It only turns DSC off.
