Dash lights
Yes, the ABS and ESP lights come on and stay on until you restart the vehicle with the switch back on. The cruise control also stops working without any warning lights coming on.
And as mentioned above, a momentary switch would work fine, too. The non-momentary switch like mine would let you leave it off after a restart as well.

So I am assuming that the factory button to disable traction control does not do the same thing? (it looks like this "fun switch" disables more than just the traction control and related system)
