If you don't have a button, are you sure you have the feature? The button would be to the left of the steering wheel labeled "DSC." To shut off 1/2 of it, just press the button. To completely disable it (has to be done every time you start the car), hold the button while turning the car on, hold for a few more seconds, when you let go, both DSC-related lights on the dash will stay illuminated.

With the 2.0, your tired won't be spinning like crazy unless you're neutral dropping or brake standing until 5k+

Call up your dealership if you're that worried
