How to Perform a Launch Control Start in an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Here is the relevant introduction to launch control start: 1. Launch control start is a very cool operation that allows the car to obtain maximum torque at the moment of starting, enabling it to shoot out like a bullet. In many racing events, launch control start is a must-use technique for race cars. 2. The wear and tear on the engine and transmission from launch control starts are much higher than from normal driving, so many manufacturers impose limits on the number of launch control starts. 3. Shift the transmission to manual mode to lock the gear in first. Utilizing the largest gear ratio of the first gear maximizes the torque output from the engine, thereby achieving the strongest launch control torque. 4. Press the brake pedal all the way down. 5. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. 6. Use cruise control to adjust the RPM—up to increase and down to decrease—to control the maximum engine RPM when the accelerator is fully pressed. 7. Release the brake immediately once the engine reaches the preset maximum RPM, and the car will launch forward.
