Using the launch feature

Launch can be used when you need maximum acceleration from a standstill, such as when starting your car on a steep incline.

The launch feature can be helpful when you're starting the car on a steep uphill incline as it allows maximum acceleration from a standstill.

 Note

The launch feature should be used sparingly as it causes wear on the engine.
The launch feature is only available from a standstill and after:
  • Selecting the D gear.
Press the brake pedal all the way down.
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down.
Release the brake pedal within two seconds.
The car launches with maximum acceleration.
