My Edition 30 supplement (new) states the following.

"The launch control programme enables maximum acceleration"

"Switch off ESP"

"Depress brake pedal"

"Move selector to position S"

"Depress accelerator until engine revs have reached 3200 rpm"

"Release the foot brake"

"You should always switch on ESP again once the acceleration procedure has been completed"

Priceless!!!

I have the supplement in my ED30 handbook.

Does it state you are limited to a certain number??

I wonder if the 2008 model year handbooks are any different?

I don't think that it does, but I will check.

Are you sure yours is a 2008 model year?  The 10th digit of your VIN will confirm.

2007 model year car.
Bye Bye Edition 30

speedynz - what model year build is yours?  I presume you use the "Euro" type of VIN, and not the US type?

Well, it will just help us compare differences between the model year builds.
