CLA/GLA 45 traction control
Just in the process of ordering a GLA 45 and want to know if you are able to turn off traction control completely like I can on my C63?

Anyone know for sure?

thanks

CLA 45 AMG
When I press the traction control on my CLA 45, the "SPORT" light turns on in my gauge cluster so I assume it is turned off.

There are 3 modes
Sport is one option, but traction control is still on, just provides more latitude. Pressing ESP briefly once, puts it in sport mode. If you continue to hold the ESP button it will turn traction control completely off.

Thanks, have you confirmed this on your CLA45? I would assume it would be the exact same on my future GLA45

It was the same on the A45, as the CLA45, so safe to assume on GLA45.

Enabled by default, short press for 'Sport' mode, long press for 'Off'.
