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 

290

.

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, approx. 6 miles.

Starting with Launch Control

1.

Switch on drive-ready state.

2.

  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 support driving stability, re-activate Dynamic
Stability Control, DSC as soon as possible.

System limits

An experienced driver may be able to achieve
better acceleration values in DSC OFF mode.

Drive experience switch

Principle

The drive experience switch influences the driv‐
ing dynamics characteristics of the vehicle. The
vehicle can be adapted depending on the situa‐
tion using various driving modes.
