How to turn off Traction Control in C300?
I have looked all over and cant find anything. Tried looking up the user manual but didnt find anything under ABS or traction control. How do you turn off traction control? Is it possible?

You have to put the car into dyno mode. I'm not sure where it's hidden in the W205 menus. I recommend you leave it alone. Cutting the ESP, ABS, BAS, Traction control etc is not wise & can lead to unforeseen failures. e.g power steering.

The manual says you can deactivate Electronic Stability Program (ESP) in the assistance menu. It also says Traction Control is part of ESP. So, you should be able to easily turn it off.
Edit - Merlin1 posted the instructions while I was typing. I was looking at the same instructions.
Edit 2 - I just tried it in the car. It works just as the manual says. Very easy to turn off ESP.

That procedure does not fully defeat the ESP etc. It substantially reduces it's effect.
