How to deactivate the traction control of the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 3, 8V - Years 2012-2019
Part: Onboard computer

The Audi A3 8v does not provide for the possibility of completely deactivating the automatic traction control system and this obviously occurs for safety reasons. While it is possible to partially deactivate it so as to have less electronic driving controls and more fun. To do this, all you have to do is insert the key and turn on the instrument panel. Then move to the central dashboard button panel and locate the traction control button. Keep it pressed for about 4-5 seconds and at that point the system will be partially deactivated. To reactivate it, just press the same button once.
