How To: Fully disable traction control, stability control, ESC, VSA
Try this at your own risk.
The button on the left side of your lower dashboard is used to disable or defeat the traction and stability aids.
The manually only describes a process to partially disable traction and stability aids. I finally found a method to fully defeat traction and stability aids (ABS still functions).
Partially disable
-------------------
Press to turn on, press again to turn off. This does not disable traction control in all instances.
Fully disable
-------------------
1. Turn car on
2. Parking brake off
3. Press and hold brake pedal
4. Turn traction control on and off
5. Release brake pedal
6. Parking brake on
7. Turn traction control on and off
8. Press and hold brake pedal
9. Turn traction control on and off
10. Traction control light should be solid and another light blinking
Or, worded another way:
1. Turn traction control on/off with brake pedal on
2. Turn traction control on/off with parking brake on
3. Turn traction control on/off with brake pedal and parking brake on
4. Traction control light should be solid and another light blinking

This is for a third-generation (2015+) Fit.
Also, to clarify, this only temporarily disables traction control. Once you hit the button again or turn off the car the traction control is reenabled.
Fully defeating the traction control is necessary for autocross/track.
