Launch Control Operation
• When using Launch Control with
an engine that is not warmed up
enough, a driver should always
make sure that the engine’s cool-
ing water is warmed up and reach-
es a recommended temperature.
• To operate ESC Off state 2, Press
and hold ESC button for more than
3 seconds in Sports mode. (Status
Display on Cluster Screen)
• For launching, stop the vehicle and
keep a steering wheel straight.
• Footbrakes, EPB and Auto Hold
must be released for smooth
launching.
• Press the brake firmly with your left
foot in transmission D mode, whilst
pressing the accelerator pedal
down fully with your right foot.
Then, the Launch Control Ready

down fully, remove your left foot
from the brake. (within 4 seconds)

• If both the brakes and accelerate
pedals were in application and a
driver removes his feet only from
the accelerate pedal afterwards,
Launch Control will be automatical-
ly deactivated. Or, if the vehicle
does not start after 4 seconds with
a driver’s feet on both brake and
accelerate pedals, Launch Control
will be automatically deactivated
as well.
• Do not operate both brake and
accelerate pedals simultaneously
for longer than 4 seconds without
leaving the vehicle.
• When re-using Launch Control, a
driver should have the vehicle cool
down sufficiently by driving.
