sponds to the number of illumi‐
nated fields.
Launch Control
The concept Launch Control enables optimum accelerationon surfaces with good traction.
Component wear
Do not use Launch Control too often;
otherwise, this may result in premature wear of
components due to the high stress placed on
the vehicle.◀
Activate Launch Control Launch Control is available when the engine is
warmed up, that is, after uninterrupted driving
of at least 6 miles/10 km.1.Deactivate Dynamic Stability Control, refer
to page 114.2.Select Sequential mode with driving pro‐

Did not use Launch Control during the break-
in, refer to page 148, period.
To maintain driving stability, always activate
DSC if possible.
Shift Lights
The concept
Shift Lights in the Head-Up Display indicate
the optimum shifting point in Sequential mode,
refer to page 66. Thus, with a sporty driving
style, the best possible vehicle acceleration is
achieved.
Display in the Head-up Display
▷Current engine speed is lightly highlighted
in the display.▷Arrow 1: successive yellow illuminated
fields indicate the upcoming upshift mo‐
ment.▷Arrow 2: fields are illuminated in red. Do
not wait any further to shift.Seite 68ControlsDriving68

Low Speed Assistant
The Low Speed Assistant gives assistance at
very low speeds. The vehicle travels at walking
speed and automatically controls the speed of
the engine.
This can also be used for rocking the vehicle in
the snow. To do this, switch between reverse
gear and forward gear without stepping on the
brakes in the process.
Activating
1.Engage a driving position.2.Briefly tap the accelerator petal.
The vehicle rolls at minimum speed.
This is possible in 1st and 2nd gear and in re‐
verse gear.

Avoid high engine stress and fre‐
quent starts.▷Indicator lamp lights up red: transmission
is overheating.
Further driving at a moderate pace is pos‐
sible. At the next opportunity, stop the car,
shut off the engine and allow the transmis‐
sion to cool down.
Avoid fast starts, and on inclines did not accel‐
erate lightly while letting the clutch slip; other‐
wise, the transmission may overheat.
During traffic jams or at very low speeds, use
the Low Speed Assistant, refer to page 69.
M Driving Dynamics Control
The concept The M Driving Dynamics Control affects the
response of the vehicle to accelerator pedal
movements.
ProgramsResponse behavior options:
▷"Efficient": comfortable. Minimal fuel con‐
sumption.
Ideal e. g. in city traffic or on snow.▷"Sport": sporty, dynamic.▷"Sport Plus": spontaneous, direct. Maxi‐
