How to deactivate the ESP on a Mercedes Class B

Model: Mercedes Classe B W245, MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Onboard computer

In this video we can see how to deactivate the ESP on a Mercedes Classe B. ESP, acronym for Electronic Stability Program, is an electronic safety system that improves vehicle stability and prevents loss of grip in critical situations, such as tight curves taken at high speeds, sudden braking on slippery surfaces, or sudden changes of direction. However, there are conditions in which it is advisable that it is not active, for example when driving on low-grip downhill surfaces, off-road, or for sporty driving on the track. So, we turn on the ignition, and with the up arrows on the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel, we go to the ESP menu, and with the (+) button on the right side of the steering wheel, we deactivate both the ESP and the TPMS monitoring. We use this function only in the indicated cases, and with great care.
