Turning off traction control

can i turn off traction control on my 2009 outback

That will be in your manual and if not Google might find you some videos ( turn off traction control 2009 Subaru Outback ) . But why , it only activates when needed ?

Pressing the VDC off button will shut off the Vehicle Dynamics Control and the traction control. The VDC off button is located to the left of the steering wheel near the mirror control switch.
