on roads with good traction under dry surround‐
ing conditions.
General information
The use of Launch Control causes premature
component wear since this function represents a
very heavy load for the vehicle.

Do not steer the steering wheel when driving off
with Launch Control.
Additional information:

ing temperature after an uninterrupted trip of at
least 6 miles/10 km.
