‘19 Special Startup

So I was watching the latest RBR video and he mentions that newer AMGs have a louder startup when you hold the paddle while starting the vehicle.
at around 10:10.

Can anyone with a ‘19 verify?

Putting it in Sport+ on my 2018 already makes it louder. I doubt holding the paddle will change that. If it works without putting it in sport+ that would be a neat feature!

You can start the car in S+? My understanding is that the car switches to C on startup, even when your turn it on and switch to S+ before actually starting it.

I have a burble tune and can get some really crazy startup sounds by pressing down the accelerator when starting up and then releasing just after.

What does this sound like on a non-tuned car?

for the C-class it's only available for the C63 version

check the owners manual https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/servi...owners_manuals

if you go to the "2019 Owner's manual", they uploaded the AMG supplement, not the whole manual.

on Page 12, Function of Emotion Start
The Emotion Start function is only available
for the Mercedes‑AMG C 63 and C 63 S models.

Hi all

You may all be aware of this but if you shut down in sport plus mode and then restart within a short window of time, the car does burble/growl on start up even though it starts and comfort mode. Hope that helps.

Its also possible to press the Startbutton without engaging the Brake-Pedal, hence starting up the Boardcomputers. Then putting the Car into Sport+ and Start the Car.
It will start with the Valves open.
