This thread has been a good read....Ok, just to clarify please. I have opted for SC in a diesel. To activate LC:Press sport+ button.Select 'D'.L foot hard on foot brake.Hand brake off.Press accelerator pedal quickly to kick down point.Revs build, then plateau.'Launch control activated' message in binnacle.Release foot brake.Correct?
This is correct. Though D and SportPlus don't have to be in that order. Just needs to be in that state.
I think handbrake isn't important, though I always turn it off anyway.
Key is quick/hard on brake, then quick to kickdown on throttle, otherwise the message doesn't appear.
Another point is that it's disabled if you have a certain amount of steering angle. I mention it because someone a while back said they do LC at T junctions and that just can't happen.
