I seen YouTube video that hold brake left foot then right foot on accelerator. So do you press accelerator all way down or until the launch ready appear on screen?

That's a great question! I’ve tried to figure out how to turn it on too, but I’m a bit hesitant to press the accelerator all the way down. 😅 Let’s wait for confirmation first! Also, I remember you should use sport mode before.

I can only speak for the eDrive40 or M60 - press on brake with your left foot, and press the accelerator all the way down to the floor and hold it there. When you lift your foot off the brake, you are launched. It's also suggested to pull the boost paddle as well before you release the brake.

You can always just lift off the accelerator before the brake, if you want to cancel it or not launch.

It’s in the manual, no? You just need to be in Sport mode.

When I press the brake, then press the accelerator all the way down, I get a Launch Control Activated message on the dashboard. Then I release the brake pedal.

I ask because You guys are smarter. If I read it I may not understand or get caught up looking at the pictures. Hahaha

That’s definitely not the case ;-)

I've got about 1,000 miles to go before I can try launch control, so I'll let you guys sort it out! lol.

I'm still breaking mine in, but According to the manual:

Driving off with Launch Control

1. Turn on drive-ready state.
2. Engage forward gear.
3. Activate drive mode.
4. Enabling the driving dynamics setting:"SPORT PLUS".
5. With the left foot, press down forcefully on the brake.
6. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold. Launch Control information is
displayed in the instrument cluster.
7. The starting engine speed adjusts. Wait briefly until the engine speed is constant. Keep the accelerator pedal in this position.
8. Release the brake within a few seconds of the Launch Control information illuminating. The vehicle accelerates.

Upshifting is performed automatically as long as the Launch Control information is displayed and the accelerator pedal is not released.

Launch Control stays on as long as the Launch Control information is displayed and the accelerator pedal is not released.

What do they mean by “Wait until the engine speed is constant”? Do they mean to say boost or RPMs here?

I haven't done it on this car yet, because I am still breaking it in. But on previous ones, when you floor the accelerator there are a few seconds when the limiter cuts in where it revs up and as soon as it starts to over rev, the limiter cuts in, and it will rev up and down until it settles out at max RPM's at just below redline.

Old school you had to do this manually with the accelerator. But newer cars have limiters that don't let you over rev the engine.
