The only time you should deactivate it is if you are going offroad, otherwise you may have trouble manuevering the vehicle at high speed. Electronic traction control tends to become confused when there is dirt or mud involved.

What is the ESP switch for on a VW Passat?

Electronic Stability Program AKA Traction control - you can manually switch on and off the traction control with the switch. Bascially when the ESP senses a wheel loosing grip, it cuts power until it stops - you will see a yellow light flash on the dashboard. You should see the same light come on and stay on when you switch off the ESP.
