Launch Control

The Launch Control strategy permits high-
performance acceleration from stand still.
This strategy can be activated with vehicle at a
standstill, Race mode selected and FIRST (1st)
gear engaged.
The sequence of operations to perform is as
follows:
1. Press the brake pedal and hold it down.
2. Press the accelerator pedal and hold it down.
3. Press the "–" paddle behind the steering
wheel. (This allows the engine to rev above the
3000 RPM limit.)
When the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will
start with maximum acceleration. Despite the
MANUAL mode, the vehicle will automatically shift
the gear to guarantee maximum acceleration,
once the correct shifting speed has been reached.
