The system is activated by:

– Sport mode activated (please see the “Multi-Sense” section);
– depress the brake pedal with the left foot;
– keeping the brake pedal pressed, pull the two steering wheel pad-
dles 1 until the message “Launch
Control ON” appears on the instru-
ment panel;
– release the paddles 1;
– with your left foot still pressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator
pedal fully to beyond the point of
resistance with your right foot (the
engine speed will automatically sta-
bilise at around 2500 rpm);
– within 3 seconds, release the brake pedal for a sporty vehicle start.
If fitted on the vehicle, with the vehicle
stationary, the standing start procedure
(Launch Control) is a function which
permits maximum acceleration.
Note: This function should only be used
when the mechanical components have
reached their operating temperature.

Do not use this function on
slippery or wet roads.
Risk of loss of control of
the vehicle.
Because of the accelera-
tion gained, this function
should only be used if traf-
fic conditions permit, and
in compliance with the local driving
regulations. Please ensure all the
conditions are met before each use.
Risk of accident or serious injury.
Heavy use of the system will reduce
the service life of the mechanical
components (clutch, transmission,
etc.).

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the

on the button 2 in order to unlick the
lever.

as possible.
Operating faults
– when driving , if the “CHECK AUTO
GEARBOX ” message appears on
the instrument panel, it indicates a
fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, stop as soon
as possible to let the gearbox cool
down and wait for the message to
disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
