How to deactivate ESP?

w204 c180 1.6 cgi 2013
There is no button to deactivate ESP.
The driving whell has only 4 buttons, so i can't enter dyno mode or rolling test to deactivate ESP.
Is there another way to deactivate it?

Use your steering wheel buttons to go into settings and somewhere there you can deactivate esp

Thank you Jeff7 for your quick reply.
Unfortunately in my version of c180 there is no such a setting in the menu nor i can enter the dyno mode as my steering wheel has only four buttons (menu, reset, volume up, volume down).

I was wondering where can i find a wiring diagram for ESP for my model so i will be able to install a button to manually disable it whenever is needed.

Did you read your owner's manual? I'd start there and figure out how to get into your settings and disable.

The owner's manual says that ESP cannot be disabled to vehicles that are equipped with a 4-Button steering wheel ...
