After turning the TRAC and Vehicle stability control (VSC) systems off, the
systems will be automatically reactivated in the following situations:

Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system: When
the engine switch is turned to “LOCK” position

push-button ignition switch is turned off

off, automatic reactivation will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
