Well, if you press the button to off it once, then it will re-engage after a certain speed but if you hold the button down for a few seconds, then both TRAC and VSC will stay dis-engaged until you press the button again or restart the car. As for starting up the car, the lights will stay on at the start so that the system can check to see if they are working and then the lights will go away. If it stays on, it could be a glitch with the light or there is a problem with the TRAC and VSC so you should go to a dealership for them to check what happened if the lights don't go away itself.
