question about launch control
I've tried it only once but it was just to check how to do it and I didn't passed the first gear.
Because it is in manual when launching, do I need to transfer between gears myself or will it turn to automatic immediately after launching? In my former A45 it acted like that. Moved to automatic automatically. Thanks |

It will rev to 3500rpm. Use the cruise dial on the left of the wheel to drop rpm by 500. Launch control is only available after driving 6 miles. |

I played with mine recently and it did not shift when it Hit the red line... it banged of the rev limiter till I pulled the paddle... in my AMG I launch it and it shifts on its own.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. You do NOT have to shift automatically. If you DO shift any gears, or stop absolutely flooring the accelerator pedal it will not shift for you. I've done launch control many times and it's easy to accidentally stop flooring it. It will shift until you let off or shift it.

What do you mean by "You do NOT have to shift automatically"? I shift manually. The car shifts automatically. What am I missing? Bottom line, if I do this properly (I know from other cars that if you do not floor the throttle paddle, launch control disengages), will it or won't it shift automatically? |

I checked 2018 and 2020 owner's manuals. Both say it shift automatically. And everytime I've used it, as well as every youtube video I've seen shows it shifting automatically too.

You adjust the cruise control while it's bouncing off the set limiter.

If you don't keep the throttle to the floor and lift off even a little it will deactivate and it will not shift automatically. That's probably what they did wrong.
