I just read the manual ( again ), and nowhere does it state that PSM is turned back on, this is born out by my practical experience. What it does state, is that when one of the two front wheels enter the ABS range, the vehicle is stabilized. So as soon as your out of the ABS, PSM is off again. In the oversteer condition I was describing, PSM won't ever kick in after being turned off ( though is still prevents "one-sided spinning" ).
BTW, I didn't intend to come across as confrontational in my previous post.
