Important safety notes

AMG 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 should only be used on specially designated roads. Always adapt your speed and driving style to the prevailing road and weather conditions.
