When the ambient conditions are
dry, Launch Control permits opti-
mised acceleration on a road sur-
face that offers plenty of grip.
Use of Launch Control causes pre-
mature component wear, as the
function subjects the vehicle to very
high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when
running in, see page 266.
When starting with Launch Control,
do not turn the steering wheel.
Launch Control is available when
the engine is at operating tempera-
ture. The engine is at operating
temperature after an uninterrupted
journey of at least 10 km, approx. 6
miles.
