Default Can ESP be turned of 100%

From what I understand by pressing the ESP button it is turned off about 85%. Is there any way to turn it off completely?

pulling fuses, but you lose many other electrical "assist" components

No unless you pull fuses for the ESP and ABS system like Sia said.

What's noticeable in the other 15%? For me, ESP button gets hit right after seat belt clicks.

Default I'm assuming the EDL (traction control) until 50 mph and the angel guardian...

The stability control (ESP) when ever you hit the brakes although the ESP switch as been selected to "OFF".

I personally wished they would have defaulted the ESP to "OFF" and have us turn it "ON" when we want it which means in my case... Never!

What other electrical assist components are lost when the fuse is pulled?
