2013 SL63 No Race Start
Hi all. been searching for the answer, but none found yet. My SL63 does not have the RS position on the selector. I looked at the options list for that year and it does not look like it was a stand alone option.

Any help would be appreciated.

I assume it is on all 13 because they have the 7spd w/race start trans.

Race Start (RS) is standard.

Why do you think yours doesn’t have it?
