360 Traction control button and shifting

2001 360 F1 with an updated TCU (2003)

Hey yall
New owner trying to figure it all out. In researching this, I’ve learned a lot about the ASR. But I haven’t found the answer about the behavior here:
When I press the traction control button (below the auto button) I find that it doesn’t let me downshift.
To be clear, I DON’T press auto, but just the traction control button. The word “auto” doesn’t appear under the gear number. However, if I go to downshift, it wont. It will do it as I slow down, like it IS In automatic mode.
I can’t find much information about that button and its function - my searches really only point to ASR questions. Can someone fill me in on its supposed function? Thanks!
