Traction control Lexus IS350

Just wondering if anyone knows how to turn off the vdc (traction control) on a 2006 is350? A friend of mine owns one and asked me how to do it.I told him just push the button! But apparently there is no button to push. Any help would be appreciated!

There is some way to do it, i found a video of a ES350 switching its traction, but its some "mode" when you switch the traction, i belive the airbags dont work then. A friend of mine used to use the exact same technique with his GS430, and believe it or not it works

I don't know about IS350, buy my sister's IS250 DID have a button to disable the TCS.
It was 2-stage like BMWs. You had to hold it for while to dis-able completely.

My IS250 was an 08 and there was a button I think directly to the right below the steering wheel that could turn traction on and off. You had to be at a stop and had to hold it for about five seconds and then it would pop up as both traction and VSC OFF on the dash.

Not sure about 06's but hope this helps.

We have an '06 is350, they're a bit different. Google "is350 pedal dance". Pain in the ass but its the only way on an '06.
