| Message: | The 7-speed SMG of the U.S. version M5 incorporates a number of special functions and safeguards, one of which is Launch Control. To activate this feature: • The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must be deactivated via its console button. • The SMG Drivelogic must be set to the S6 (Sequential 6) program. • The front wheels should be aimed in a straight ahead position. • The shifter lever needs to be held in the downshift position and the accelerator pedal fully depressed. This will raise the engine up to 1600 rpm. • Ready to go, the driver simply releases the shift lever; the M5 launches with precisely balanced clutch slip and wheel spin for an optimum start. | ||||
