Launch Control enables opti-
mum acceleration on surfaces
with good traction under dry sur-
rounding conditions.
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.
Launch Control is available
when the engine is at operating
temperature. The engine is at
operating temperature after an
uninterrupted trip of at least 6
miles/10 km.
