To start a vehicle, with your rightfoot pressing the accelerator pedal down fully, remove your left foot from the brake. (within 4 seconds) (Launch Control Active (2) Status Display on Cluster Screen)

Launch Control Active (2)

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 automatically 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.

An warning message will pop up on the screen if the transmission fluid temperature is above a certain level whilst using Launch Control. Also, Launch Control will be automatically deactivated.

To address the issue as above, a driver should cool down the transmission fluid temperature by driving the vehicle. (Driving at a constant speed over 60 KPH is highly recommended)
