You can disable the traction control on the Subaru Crosstrek by first inserting the ignition key into the corresponding ignition switch: once the dashboard is activated, locate the button with the icon of a skidding car on the left side of the dashboard next to the steering wheel.

Pressing it will show a warning light on the instrument panel indicating that the traction control is disabled; you can reactivate the traction control at any time by pressing the button again and then turning off the ignition.
