Launch Control

Launch Control enables you to drive off with an

optimal vehicle acceleration on a high grip road

surface.

Do not use Launch Control too often, as

the higher loads on the vehicle lead to

premature component wear.<

Launch Control is available when the engine is

at operating temperature, i.e. after driving con-

tinuously for at least 6 miles/10 km.

1. With the engine running, depress the brake

pedal with your left foot.

2. Activate the SPORT+ program of the

Dynamic Driving Control, refer to page 79.

3. With the vehicle stationary, activate manual

mode and select first gear.

4. Press the accelerator all the way down. The

engine speed when driving off is controlled.

A flag symbol appears in the instrument

cluster.

5. The vehicle accelerates when you release

the brake pedal. Keep the accelerator

pressed all the way down.

6. The transmission shifts up automatically as

long as the accelerator is pressed all the

way down.

Launch Control only becomes available again

after a certain distance has been driven.

Launch Control can only be used after the

break-in phase, refer to page 110.

To maintain driving stability, activate DSC

whenever possible.<

Releasing the transmission lock

manually

If a power failure occurs, e.g. if the battery

is discharged or disconnected or if there

is an electrical malfunction, the transmission

lock must be released manually; otherwise, the

rear wheels are blocked and the vehicle cannot

be towed.<

Release the transmission lock manually for tow-

ing only and set the parking brake beforehand

to prevent the vehicle from rolling. After parking

the vehicle, lock the transmission lock again.

Releasing

1. Unclip the sleeve of the selector lever.

2. Pull the sleeve up over the selector lever

until the sleeve is inside out.

3. Remove the cap using the Allen wrench

from the onboard tool kit, refer to page 208.

4. Insert the Allen wrench into the opening,
