what's this button

I would rather have it off by default and have to reach down to turn it on in the rain or when I let someone else drive it.

I like to slide the back around a little bit, but the real reason I turn it off is that it is too sensitive.
If I am driving fast and shift hard into second or third gear, it will cut power after I shift. There are also cases where I try to pull out into traffic making a sharp turn that it cuts power. This is in a case where there might be a little wheel slip, but not enough to lose control or even change direction.
I can see it being beneficial on a wet/slick road, but even then - without it I would know not to give it that much gas.
What I am finding is that I have fun in the rain with it on. I am purposely going too fast and accelerating too hard to see how it handles getting crossed up. So far so good, but one of these days it might send me into a tree itself trying to correct for what it thinks I am doing improperly - like straightening it out on a road that isn't straight.
