Get the car to a Mercedes service. Thats the only way to fix it!
limp home mode is a fail safe mode on Mercedes vehicles which allows you to be able to drive a reasonable distance without necessarily damaging your engine. Most of the electronically operated parts driven by the MV belt can work on manual mode. while this is not ideal for performance it is meant to allow you to get the car to safety and a service station hence the phrase "limp home"
Any number of faults could be responsible for the car going into limp home mode You need the fault codes read, any remedial work carried out, & the fault codes removed. This will then extinguish the MIL (malfunction indication light) The vehicle should then revert to normal.

Most VW's only go into limp mode if there is a very serious problem. Limp mode is there to protect the engine, not to be an inconvenience. To disable limp mode would be to allow the engine to self destruct.
Limp mode or (limp-in mode or limp-home mode)occurs when your computer in your car is not communicating with the sensors on your engine. On some cars(volkswagon Passat for example) If you disconnect the battery then the computer will lose all of the settings and will go into limp-in mode. The car will have little power and a top speed of only about 30 miles per hour. The function of limp-in mode is to get you to a place that can repair the car but the car is barely driveable.
This could be an automatic response from the computer putting the car into what's called "limp-home" mode so you don't blow the engine or tranny because there's something wrong. MB does think of a lot more than other cars. Time to take it to someone (like a dealer) who has the computer diagnostic hookup. The "limp-home" mode should be described in your owner's manual.
You have to repair the cause of the code that put it in limp mode.
i don't know, but if you find out please tell me. My 1990 Sovereign has been in limp-home mode for 26,000 miles now
is limp mode is when you put the car on donks or on 3 wheels using hydrolics
From the information given, you car is in "limp home" mode. ESP is the electronic stability program. It basically reduces the chances of skidding and spinning out of control by when it detects a spin, it automatically reduce engine torque, adjust braking and etc. The ESP is constantly on and when errors and or codes pop up in the system, especially in the S500s (W220), it will go into limp home mode for safety. Get it to a shop and scanned for trouble codes.
