i don't really see the use of those since you can't turn off the traction control

I think you can but need to find the fuse and remove it.

it doesn't work like that, the engine won't turn on after. Bullshit safety features...

but recently the added a button to turn off the traction control, but only in sandero stepway extreme and jogger extreme

That is just the electronic stability control. The traction control is still on, he says it on the video. In fact from him I know it's not possible, because the ABS fuse shares the same fuse with the immobiliser, and if you turn it off you won't be able to start the car.

There is indeed a way you can turn it off, if you lift the fron wheels up and you let the spin freely for 2-3 minutes, the car will get into "Dyno mode". But once you go above 40km/h the car switches back to normal.

There's much easier solution.

You put a switch on one of the ABS sensors. The system cannot work without signal from wheels, so it shuts down, but the car keeps working.

Yes, but I'm sure that fucks with the warranty🤣 That's what I'm planning on doing with mine after it expires
