Launch Control is a vehicle electronics function.
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.
Launch control is enabled again in the following cases: the engine
runs for at least three minutes, the engine is switched off for 20
