i got no launch control ?? sadface

Okay so i took the 1 to a deserted road today i pressed that traction control button once so the word traction came on the screen then set sport mode on and shifted into M1 whilst foot was on the brake pedal. I pressed the accelerator but nothing happened where the rev would jump to 3.5k it'll only accelerate as hard as i pressed it going into a burnout if i went any harder lol

HELP car has 17 000 ks so im sure its broken in by now 2013 n55 and engine temp was optimal temp 120? *needle was in the middle*

thanks in advance guys

Hey mate,
Was the vehicle warmed up enough, launch control will only work after 10km of uninterrupted driving...

Okay i tried the 10k's of driving but still no luck

foot on brake traction control pushed once and sport mode on and in M1

the cars momentum wants to go forward and it inches itself forward but limits itself to 1k rpm but no launch control flag or anything just the ECU making sure no burnouts happen..

what is going on..

your forgetting to push the DTC butting one on the dash!! lol you have to also floor it to the ground

1- foot on brake
2-push DTC once
3-shift the gear stick ti the left
4-push the sport button
5-tap the left paddle shift so on the dash should say M1
6-right foot on the gas and past the kick down.. dont be afraid push hard down
7-race flag should pop up on the dash
8-hold on
9-let the brake foot go
10- DONT FORGET TO CHANGE GEAR!!

Just hold the DSC button for a few seconds until DSC OFF shows up. Then put the car in M1 with sport button on, and simply floor it, including the kickdown. Your car will launch super hard / spin the tires a bunch.
