DTC mode will still use the brakes to keep you from spinning, but it wont limit the throttle. Its a fun mode, but is still gives the computer some control of the car. When DTC is on, you will have a icon on your dash saying DTC, as pictured in #2.


DSC & DTC turn off completely when you PRESS AND HOLD the DTC button. You get the crazy circle arrow around a caution symbol on your dash, as in picture #3. In this mode, you may as well be in a go-cart, because there is nothing to keep you from spinning out of control but the laws of plain old vector physics... Which is fine, until you have 200+ hp on a RWD car.
Yeah I know it's always active, pressing the DTC button activates DTC, obviously. But the last part I was not aware of, which was cutting them both off completely. That was my original question. Doesn't seem like a smart move to do that, though.
