The Audi A3 8v does not allow for the complete disabling of the automatic traction control system, and this is obviously for safety reasons. However, it is possible to partially disable it to have less electronic control while driving and more fun. To do this, insert the key and turn on the ignition.

Next, move to the central dashboard control panel and locate the traction control button. Hold it down for about 4-5 seconds, and at that point, the system will be partially disabled.

To reactivate it, simply press the same button once.
