SL/R231: Race Start 2013 SL63

Race Start 2013 SL63
I have tried multiple times to initiate Race Start on my SL63. Every time, the info center says to check my owners manual but I’ve been unable to determine what is preventing this. From what I can tell, the car is meeting all of the criteria but refusing to cooperate. Any suggestions?

Are you consulting the paper manual or the digital one built into the car? There is likely more detail in the digital version than you will find in the paper version.

Digital - there is virtually no information in the paper version
Conditions for activation
You can activate RACE START if:
· the doors are closed.
· the engine is running and it has reached an operating temperature of approximately176 ‡ (80 †). This is the case when the engine oil temperature in the multifunction display stops flashing.
· SPORT handling mode is activated.
· the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
· the vehicle is stationary and the brakepedal is depressed (left foot).
· the transmission is in position D.

One thing some people have said has gotten them before is they weren't pushing the brake pedal firmly enough.
