Does anyone have any information on how to turn the traction control off on a MY13 Leon?

The book just sends me round in circles saying I can turn it off in the Easy Connect system but I can't find the option.

Would appreciate any help.

That's a shame, I'm stuck in a muddy field camping for the next week and need all the power I need to get out

Take a decent tyre pump with you, if you get stuck lower the fronts to 5 psi and drive out of the muck at walking pace.

Re-inflate as soon as you're clear of the obstacle, driving any distance or at speed will knacker your tyres, likewise don't burn out the pump when re-inflating. Ideally use a footpump powered by a passenger.

And take some old carpet off-cuts or a pair of old rubber car mats to put under the front wheels to help you get some initial traction if it is very muddy.

It doesn't have button for Traction Control? In my Cupra there is button,when you press it for longer time all traction control turned off.
