Hmm...I never heard of this on an automatic transmission, or a button to select it. There'* been a "feature" called "CAGS" on the manual transmission that locked out a gear under certain VSS vs. RPM vs. Traction Control conditions...though the goal of most people was to remove that particular feature for drag racing purposes.
It was done via solenoids in the transmission that blocked the shifter forks...more or less forcing you to skip a gear, which is why is is usually refered to as "skip-shift"

2nd gear start for bad weather, complete with schematic and part numbers.

I've never tried this as I have no application, the circuit design is good however.

Btw, you have the perfect traction control device built in already..it'* connected to your body just below the right ankle, and your shoe is convieniently wrapped around it.
As far as a drag racing aid...hmmm...if you are having traction problems that bad off the line, time to address the real problem..the contact patch between the tire and the drag strip.
