How do I completely disable traction control and stabilitrak on 08 impala ss?

I read online and in my manual for the car that you press and hold the disable traction control button to also disable stabilitrak. But it never actually shows that it's disabled and I can tell when driving that it isn't. It's supposed to prompt stabilitrak off after the Traction Control off pops up. Is this a year that I cannot disable stabilitrak?

    There is a button inside to disable traction control, but stabilitrack still kicks in and restricts engine response to the wheels. Most years will allow you to disable that too by holdong the button for a few seconds to disable both but mine wont do it. I was curious of anyone knew if 2008 was a year you couldnt disable it.

SOURCE: I have a 2008 Chevy Impala SS it continues to show service traction control and service Stabilitrak. Any help fixing this problem?

check for codes in the ABS module to start as it controls traction control and I think works with Stabilitrak.

How to turn off traction control on 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Alexandre, check in your owners manual for small off button on the shifter under the large engage button. If you do not want traction control on in your vehicle check your manual for traction control fuse location and remove fuse. I can not say this is a wise thing to do, because your traction control is a safety feature for your vehicle. ABS braking system will be lost if you pull the fuse also. Pulling the fuse will disable abs, traction and stability control. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

I keep getting a message service stabilitrak

StabiliTrak Indicator Light: If the warning light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you are driving, there may be a problem with your StabiliTrak system and your vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on, the system is off and will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

This light will also flash when the StabiliTrak system is active. If the StabiliTrak system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.

The traction control part of StabiliTrak can be turned off by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak button if both systems (traction control and StabiliTrak) were previously on. To disable both traction control and StabiliTrak, press and hold the button for five seconds.

Traction control and StabiliTrak can be turned on by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak button if not automatically shut off for any other reason.

When the TCS or StabiliTrak system is turned off, the StabiliTrak light and the appropriate TCS off or StabiliTrak off message will be displayed on the DIC to warn the driver. Your vehicle will still have brake-traction control when traction control is off, but will not be able to use the engine speed management system.

If the StabiliTrak and/or Traction Control are not operating properly, I encourage you to take your vehicle in for inspection. A certified technician will be able to offer a more accurate diagnosis.

What is the lower button on the side of the shifter

It is the stabiliTrak. Press it once to turn off traction control. If you press and hold for a few seconds, it will disable stabiliTrak. It should automatically turn back on the next time you start the vehicle up.
