From what I have heard though Mercedes allows you to turn off part of the traction control/stability system it still keeps turned on and on reserve parts of the system to try you from killing yourself. Good question though as I'd like to know the specifics.

TCS, ASR ESP are different systems that control wheel spin and help control the car in various situations. They are related but not the same and in the case of MB the are evolutionary implementations. TCS came first I think them ASR and current implementation is ESP.

Take a look at this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro...bility_control
