I had to temporarily turn my traction control switch off in order for my car to move. I pushed the gas .. it started to move made an Errrr sound then it stopped. The button is located on the right side of the shifter. You will see the symbol come on in between your steering wheel on your dash. I haven't gotten mine fixed yet so I have to turn it off every time I start my car but I can at least drive it carefully! Hope that helps you temporarily!
