How do you deactivate the traction control of the Smart car?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

To deactivate the traction control of the Smart, you need to open the dedicated fuse box located inside the dashboard, right below the steering column: here you will be able to identify the fuse that controls the traction control system. This fuse must be completely removed from its housing, effectively deactivating the ESP system: at this point, you can turn on the instrument panel and drive the car to verify that the issue has been deactivated.
