Traction Control Question

OK, I should probably know this but I am still discovering differences between my old E55 and this 2011 E63.

On my E55 it was as simple as turning off the ESP button. The yellow caution symbol would illuminate in the dash.

On this one is engaging sport + the same thing? Or is it when I engage sport handling mode? Dash displays stuff about ESC. Does ESC = ESP?

Or is there some other button I am missing that disengages it?

Thanks in advance.

When you press and hold the ESC/ESP button, the screen will indicate that traction control is turned off. However, people have stated that traction control is still not fully off even in that setting. I'm not that brave, so I usually drive in ESP sport mode.

Thanks,

Now for the stupid question:

Where/which button is ESP/ESC? My E55 had a button that was labeled "ESP".

I don't see a button labeled that. Is it on the console? Is it one of the 3 buttons below the mode (C, S, S+, M) selector?

Thanks

I believe it's the first button below the knob mode selector knob. When you press it once, "esp sport" shows up on the dash.
