My understanding is that it is a computer monitored system that automatically adjusts power/braking to any or all of the wheels when slipping is detected. It is automatically turned on when the vehicle is started but can be turned off if desired. There is no real advantage to turning it off because it may be needed in a moments notice in a near crash situation.
