There is no button.

If you want more fun its easy, justget an upgraded tranny chip, bigger turbo, and rev limiter, and you can burn all 4 tires at will!

I'm not 100%, but if you've got no button, then you don't have ESP.
My dad's car has ESP, and he can turn it off via the button.

I couldn't imagine not being able to turn ESP off. It's a lot more fun car to drive and easier to handle in the manner you intend, instead of the manner the car tries to "save" you with.
My B5 didn't have an ESP button but had ESP. It was just always on.

On 2001, traction controlwas standard, and ESP was an option.
If you have ESP, you have the button.
