WARNING
- 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 the driven wheels may start to spin when the sport mode is switched on, causing the vehicle to lose grip, in particular on slippery or wet roads - danger of skidding!
- When acceleration has been completed, you should deactivate the sport mode again 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.
