Launch Control
Concept
Launch Control enables opti-
mum acceleration on surfaces
with good traction under dry sur-
rounding conditions.
General information
The use of Launch Control
causes premature component
wear since this function rep-
resents a very heavy load for
the vehicle.
Do not use Launch Control
during the break-in, refer to
page 250, period.
Do not steer the steering wheel
when driving off with Launch
Control.
Functional requirements
Launch Control is available

uninterrupted trip of at least 6
miles/10 km.
