1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop with the engine running.
2. Hold the vehicle stationary with light pressure on the brake pedal.
3. Select either "S" or "+/-" modes with the gear selector.
4. Turn off the Traction Control (usually need to hold the TCS button for a second or two)
5. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
6. Fully depress the throttle. (The revs will be limited to 4000rpm if the car is standard. Some tuners can raise the launch rpms with software.)
7. When ready, release the brake pedal and the car will launch.
Yes ,that's more or less how I use it
I turn off the ESP/TCS before selecting S mode, and firmly press the brake pedal with my LEFT foot the whole time.
After many practices in my R I've found it best to use S mode at 4000rpm for take off (rather than 1st), and floor the throttle as soon as you lift off the brake, otherwise the revs drop a bit too much as the clutch bites.
