someone posted a while back that holdng the ESP button in for 3 seconds wil turn it off completely, true? and if so, how do you know it turned off? If you just press it, it gives you the indicator but it doesnt change to something else after 3 secs or beep or anything.

My manual says that if the ESP is off, you will see the icon of the "slippery" road sign permanently on the dash display.

which is more than just the simple push button off that doesnt actually turn it off, just makes it less active.

I get the slippery sign with one push, and "esp off" text on the DIS when I hold it.

shift points including holding in gear at redline.

Otherwise, with FWD, I rather like the nannys. OTOH, turning off DSC (AKA ESP) in my Bimmer, due to the aggressive intervention, turning off DSC can be a bit entertaining as it's a rwd car.

Just my dose centavos.
