Important safety notes
RACE START is only available in
AMG
vehicles.
RACE START enables optimal acceleration from a standing start. The precondition for this is a suitable high-grip road surface.
WARNING
RACE START is only available when SPORT
handling mode is activated. SPORT handling
mode only stabilizes the vehicle to a limited
extent in the event of swerving or wheelspin.
RACE START should only be used on specially
designated roads. Always adapt your speed
and driving style to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
