G63 Fully Disable Traction Control
How do I fully disable traction control?
Holding the TC button for 3 seconds, the screen shows traction all the way off, but it still cuts power significantly and I can’t break traction at all.
Yes it’s a luxury car, not meant to break traction, but I paid for it so I should be able to play with it, especially since it’s the AMG 63 model with a tremendous V8.
It’s impossible to steer with dyno mode and headlights + ABS are turned off too. Turning on center diff lock is obviously not smart on road.
Thanks

You can't fully disable it through the normal buttons. The "ESP OFF" you get by holding the button still leaves a significant safety net, especially on the newer models.
The only true way to get everything off is through a specialized tuning tool or software that can code out the systems, but that's a whole different level of risk. Mercedes doesn't give you a true "off" switch because the stability systems are deeply integrated to prevent you from rolling a very tall, heavy vehicle.
