component wear since this function represents
a very heavy load for the vehicle.
Do not use Launch Control during the break-in,
refer to page 158, period.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.
An experienced driver may be able to achieve
better acceleration values in DSC OFF mode, re‐
fer to page 115.
Requirements Launch Control is available when the engine is
