Launch control adjusts the engine speed in order to achieve the
best possible acceleration.
Launch control can be used for starting off for a maximum of three
times in succession. Launch control is temporarily deactivated
after the third starting off in order to protect the engine, transmis-
sion and cooling system from overloading.
Launch control is also deactivated if all conditions for activation
are no longer met.

runs for at least three minutes, the engine is switched off for 20
minutes or a distance of 1.5 km (0.93 mi) has been covered.
