Launch Control
Principle
When the ambient conditions are dry, Launch
Control permits optimised acceleration on a road
surface that offers plenty of grip.
General
Use of Launch Control causes premature com‐
ponent wear, as the function subjects the vehicle
to very high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when running in, see
page 314.
When starting with Launch Control, do not turn
the steering wheel.
Operating requirements
Launch Control is available when the engine is at
operating temperature. The engine is at operat‐
ing temperature after an uninterrupted journey of
at least 10 km, 6 miles.
Starting with Launch Control

Press the button.
TRACTION is displayed in the instrument
cluster and the DSC OFF indicator lamp is il‐
luminated.
3. Engage selector lever position S.
4. Press the brake firmly with the left foot.
5. Press the accelerator pedal down beyond the
resistance at the full-throttle position and
hold, kick-down.
A flag symbol is shown in the instrument
cluster.
6. The starting engine speed is adjusted. Re‐
lease the brake within 3 seconds.
Using again during a journey
Once Launch Control has been used, the trans‐
mission requires approximately 5 minutes to cool
down before Launch Control can be used again.
Launch Control adapts to the ambient conditions
when used again.
After using Launch Control
To assist driving stability, re-activate Dynamic
Stability Control, DSC as soon as possible.
System limits

better acceleration values in DSC OFF mode.
