Default questions about VSS

ok last monday I bought a 06 accord lx V6 and i like it alot. I noticed there is a button on the driverside by the steering wheel. The button says VSS i know it stands for Vehicle Speed Sensor but What does vss do. And What does the button do if I turn it on/off?

I got in my car today and i noticed that the button said VSA not vss so What does VSA mean. Sorry for the inconvience

VSS = Vehicle Stability System as well. When you turn it off you get a nice yellow light on your gauges and you are free to spin your tires as much as you please!

Also if you have to change a flat on one of your front tires you should turn this off.

A guess:

VSA: Vehicle stability assistance
VSS: Vehicle speed sensor
