GLE63s
Race start ?

hi guys
first post here so go easy :-)

just picked up the GLE 63s and can't work out for the life of me on how to engage race start.
I have been walked through it on the phone and assured this model has it but I'm starting to doubt.

Anyone know now how to engage RS?

instructions I've been told are
1. Put into Sports + mode
2. Make sure temps are all in white
3. Depress brake all the way
4. Paddle shift both L/R at same time
5. Right paddle shift to confirm
6. Mash accelerator to the floor
7. Release brake

now the problem is step 4. Doesn't do anything for me.

Appreciate Any insights to this.

Gp

I think someone has been yanking your chain....as far as I know they don't have launch control...let us know if you find differently.

I'm in south florida...that wrap is gonna look sweet...have the dealer show you how to do it...I will be amazed if they can...I'm fairly certain ours doesn't have that feature...at least in the states.
