Cant do race start

Hey, guys, I was just wondering does anyone know how to do race start properly? I keep getting an error for me to check my AMG manual book when I attempt to press the brake and acceleration pedals.

I believe the car has to have over 1000 miles break in for race start to work, if it has over 1000 miles not really sure whats going on, mine works ok now, but I've got 2200 miles on the car at this point

You must have 1000 miles on the vehicle before you can do a race start.

I have 650 miles and it let me initiate it. I did not let it go but could have.

Make sure you are in the sport, sport + modes and really mash on both the brake and accelerator. Cant be shy.
