Launch Control

Launch Control enables an optimum accelera-
tion when starting off on a road surface with
good traction.

Do not use Launch Control too often; oth-
erwise, the powerful stresses on the vehi-

cle will lead to premature component wear.

Launch Control is available when the engine is
at operating temperature, i.e. after driving con-
tinuously for approx. 6.2 miles/10 km.

With the engine running, step on the brake
with your left foot.

Activate Dynamic Traction Control (DTC),
refer to page

Activate Driving dynamics control, refer to
page

With the vehicle stationary, activate the
manual mode and select 1

gear.

With your right foot, push the accelerator
pedal past the resistance point. The engine
speed for pulling away is adjusted. A flag
symbol appears in the instrument cluster.

When you release the brake pedal, the vehi-
cle accelerates. Keep the accelerator pedal
floored.

The upshifting occurs automatically as long
as you keep the accelerator pedal pressed
past the resistance point.

Launch Control will be ready for use again after
you drive a certain distance.
Launch Control is not available for use during
the break-in phase, refer to page

To maintain driving stability, keep DSC
activated whenever possible.
