- Always adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
- Only use the launch control programme when road and traffic conditions permit, and make sure your manner of driving and accelerating the vehicle does not inconvenience or endanger other road users.
- Please note that, when the traction control system (ASR) is switched off, the driven wheels may start to spin, causing the vehicle to lose grip, in particular on slippery or wet roads - danger of skidding!
- When acceleration has been completed, you should reactivate the ASR by briefly pressing the OFF button.
Note
- The gearbox may be hot after you have used the launch control programme. In this case, the programme may not be available for several minutes. The programme will be available again after a cool-down period.
- Accelerating with the launch control programme places a heavy load on all parts of the vehicle. This can result in increased wear and tear.
