Audi A6 Typ 4G: Launch control program

Applies to: vehicles with S tronic

The launch control program provides the best possible acceleration when starting from a stop.

Requirement: the engine must be at operating temperature and the steering wheel must not be turned.

• Deactivate the Start/Stop system.

  The LED in the button turns on.

• Switch the Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) sport mode on. The indicator light turns on.

• Press the brake pedal firmly with your left foot and hold it all the way down for at least one second.
• At the same time, press the gas pedal all the way down with your right foot until the engine reaches and stays at a high RPM level.
• Remove your foot from the brake pedal within five seconds.

WARNING

• Always adapt your driving to the traffic flow.
• Only use the Launch control program when road and traffic conditions allow it and other drivers will not be endangered or bothered by your driving and the vehicle's acceleration.
• Please note that the drive wheels can spin and the vehicle can break away when sport mode is switched on, especially when the road is slippery.
• Once the vehicle has started moving, press the button briefly to turn the sport mode off.

Tips

• The transmission temperature may increase significantly after using the launch control program. If that happens, the program may not be available for a few minutes. It will be available again after a cool-down period.
• When accelerating using the launch control program, all vehicle parts are subject to heavy loads. This can lead to increased wear.
