Traction control on C400 - Where is it

So I noticed that Speedometer theres a sensor that shows when traction control is on or off. However, I can't find the button/function to turn the traction off...any ideas?

From page 72 of the C owners manual:

Deactivating/activatingESP® You can deactivate or activateESP® via the on-board computer.

To deactivate: (page72). The ESP® OFF warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up.
To activate: (page72). The ESP® OFF warning lamp in the instrument clustergoes out.

Use the steering wheel buttons to go into vehicle settings and traction control is located in there

I rather have it in an easier place. A button in centre console.

This will deactivate it partially but not completely.
If you want to deactivate completely, check this video out!

The menus shown in the car is in German, but it's easy to figure out ! Enjoy!
