Launch Control
The “Launch Control” mode is a performance start function.
Activating this function optimises vehicle acceleration from a
standing start.
The device, which is not available when the Manettino is set to the
“WET” driving mode, transfers the necessary torque to the ground
and avoids skidding of the wheels during acceleration.
To start the vehicle in “Launch Control” mode, do the following:
- the vehicle must be stationary;
- the gearbox must be in “Manual” mode;
- hold the brake pedal down and select first gear;
- press the
LAUNCH
L
button on the left of the centre console:
an acoustic signal informs the driver that the device has been
switched on and the word “launch” appears on the gearbox
display;
- press the accelerator pedal and release the brake pedal.
L
Important note
The “Launch Control” function is not available in presence of:
- a sloping road surface, even slight;
- high clutch temperatures.
Warning
Only use the “Launch Control” function in appropriate traffic
conditions and in optimum safety and road surface conditions.
