Driving off with Launch Control
When driving off with Launch Control activated,
the vehicle accelerates very quickly. In certain

attention, etc.) you may lose control of the vehicle
or endanger other road users.
e Only use Launch Control on public roads if road
and traffic conditions permit.
e Do not endanger other road users when driving
off with Launch Control.
Responding correctly to warning signals

parts, your vehicle warns you using lights or
messages. If you ignore the vehicle's warning
signals, this can increase the risk of accidents and
injuries.
e Familiarise yourself with the meaning of
warning lights and messages before driving,
so that you can take the appropriate action to
a warning. Stop driving if necessary.
