Information
Launch Control is available again
after cooling down by driving the
vehicle for at least 3 minutes.
Constant use of Launch Control
can put enormous stress on the
vehicle resulting in premature
wear of related components.

the Launch Control system's per-
formance heavily depends on
clutch contact maneuver, tire grip
level and road surface conditions.
The system does not always guar-
antee best launching performance
of the vehicle.
