Ok here's how it goes...
1. put in manual mode (for those who have dct) 2. put in sport + 3. press brake 4. floor the throttle. the engine speed will be establish (i think the rpm will hold at some number). Then in the instrument panel will show a little checked flag. 5. let go of the brake but keep the accelerator floored. (gearbox will shift up automatically). (as long as you've keep flooring the throttle then launch control will kick in. The idea is for this to work you have to floor it) Just don't do it too many times. Will be nice to try out though. |

I assume launch control is only for DCT?

I was reading reviews and articles on the net and found that Car and Driver magazine achieved a 0-100 in 4.8sec with DCT!
Can't wait for my 35 to arrive in 3 weeks, Launch control feature sounds the part! See if i can pull up a 4.75 to 100! lol |

There should be a flag or pair of checkered flags or something that flashes on the dash when Launch Control is active.
It also won't work until the break-in period is complete, and unless the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles according to the MOM.
