In short, the DTC button enables Dynamic Traction Control which allows wheel slip. DSC or Dynamic Stability Control is still active to prevent slides, etc. Use DTC for deep snow and to have more fun on take-offs, etc. DTC mode can make the car feel better on a twisty road by giving you more throttle control yet the safety net is still there. A long press of the button disables traction control AND Dynamic Stability Control. Only drive with it fully disabled if you are extremely familiar with the car and in a safe environment to explore the cars limits, like on track.

RTFM or do a search for more info.
