Launch Control
Concept
Launch Control enables optimum acceleration
on surfaces with good traction.
General information
The use of Launch Control causes premature
component wear since this function represents a
very heavy load for the vehicle.
Do not use Launch Control during the break-in,
refer to page 199, period.
Requirements
Launch Control is available when the engine is
warmed up, that is, after uninterrupted driving of
at least 6 miles/10 km.
Do not turn the steering wheel when driving
away with Launch Control.
Activate Launch Control
1.
Deactivate Dynamic Stability Control, refer to
page 159.
2. Select Sequential mode with gear 1.
3. With the engine running, apply the brake with
the left foot.
4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
The starting engine speed adjusts.
5. If necessary, change the starting engine
speed by 500 rpm via cruise control.
6. Release the brake, the vehicle accelerates.
Continue to depress the accelerator pedal.
Upshifting occurs automatically as long as the
accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
Launch Control is available again only after a cer‐
tain distance has been driven.
System limits
This transmission has an overheating protection
mechanism, which protects the clutch from ex‐
treme stress.
▷ Indicator light lights up yellow: trans‐
mission too hot.
Avoid high engine stress and fre‐
quent starts.
▷ Indicator light lights up red: transmission is
overheating.
Further driving at a moderate pace is possi‐
ble. At the next opportunity, stop the vehicle,
shut off the engine and allow the transmis‐
sion to cool down.
Avoid frequent, fast starts. On uphill grades, do
not keep the vehicle stationary by applying a
small amount of acceleration while riding the
clutch, as this may cause the transmission to
overheat.
During traffic jams or at very low speeds, use the
Low Speed Assistant, refer to page 114.
