How to reset the ESP on a Mercedes?

Model: Mercedes Mercedes Various
Part: Warning light – error code

The ESP is a safety system that intervenes in case of skidding by adjusting engine power and braking individual wheels with varying intensity; by applying different braking forces to the vehicle's wheels, it stabilises the car's posture, reducing the risk of losing control. To reset the malfunction indicator light on the dashboard, simply sit in the driver's seat, turn on the ignition, and fully rotate the steering wheel to the left and then to the right. This will turn off the warning light on the dashboard.
