How to deactivate the traction control (ESC) of the Volkswagen Transporter

Model: Volkswagen Transporter MK 6, T6 - Years 2014-2025
Part: Checks and maintenance

Today's instructions will allow us to temporarily disable the traction control (ESC) of the Volkswagen Transporter; it is recommended not to disable this system on the road in order to not compromise the vehicle's road holding. Firstly, we get on board the cabin and start by turning on the instrument panel; then we turn on the hazard lights and press the accelerator pedal five times, as shown in the video. At this point, we will see a warning on the instrument panel indicating that the traction control has been temporarily disabled.
