Am i doing anything wrong? The manual sais - hold acceleration pedal at maximum for 3 seconds. If i do that my wheels atart a burnout, which is not what it meant to be i believe. I would really appreciate some coaching!
Hit DSC button once, put shifter into M/S mode, step fully on the brake, and quickly step on the gas... you should see a launch control message in the cluster
i do see the flag for a second or so, but i dont see a point of this lsunch control. it is really hard to use, and why even bother using if i can not set up an rpm that i want? i can do the same thing without having to wait 5 minutes and in any car mode just by holding a brake and holding an rpm for a sec before the start.
