Operation: How to deactivate the ESP of the Volkswagen Golf

Let's briefly see in this guide the instructions that will allow us to deactivate or activate the ESP control system of the Volkswagen Golf. First of all, we get into the car and start the engine; then we will find on the central console the button to activate and deactivate the ESP (when we see the button with the light, it means that the ESP is deactivated), as shown in the video. We remind you that deactivating the ESP compromises the safety and road holding of the vehicle; therefore, we recommend never deactivating the vehicle's stability control!
