How does it feel when PSM engages?

From my understanding it's off until you turn it back on, or if turn off the car and start it back up it's back on again. And only the front outside wheel brake is activated when it comes on, on a turn. You have to try it out with it and on and you will see that you can't spin the wheels without losing power and a bit of shaking when the abs kicks in. When it's off you can spin the wheels without it coming on, at least that's my experience.

I forgot to mention, I read somewhere that if you brake hard enough that the car needs the assistance of the abs system it will come back on, I've never tried it, so I don't know if that is correct.
