Unlike many other vehicles, the Ford Escape does not have a physical button for activating and deactivating the automatic traction control. To adjust it, you need to enter the vehicle's menu after turning on the ignition.

Once in the menu, locate the "Settings" option and press the "OK" button. Next, go to "Driver Assistance" and then "Traction Control." At this point, the traction control will be deactivated.

To reactivate it, simply go back and re-enter the same option.
