More information can be found in the Tow-starting and towing chap-
ter, see page 345.
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.

The greater the sensitivity of the
warning settings, for example warn-

displayed. As a result, there may be
an increased number of premature

The system can help to avoid acci-
dents with pedestrians and cyclists.
If an accident cannot be avoided,
the system helps to reduce the col-
lision speed.
The system warns of the possible
risk of collision in the urban speed

necessary.
At speeds above approx. 5 km/h, 3

Braking can be discontinued either
by depressing the accelerator pedal
or by actively moving the steering
wheel.
The detection of objects may be
limited. Take into account the
detection range limits and the func-
tional limitations.
The system reacts to pedestrians
and cyclists if your own speed is
below approx. 85 km/h, 53 mph.
The detection ability of the system
is limited.
As a result, the system may fail to
give warnings or may give warnings
late.
It is possible that the following are
not detected, for example:
Partially concealed pedestrians.
Pedestrians who are not detected as such, because of the
viewing angle or outline.
Pedestrians outside the detec-
tion range.
Pedestrians less than approxi-
