Excellent vid Killer, really liked the clear description as well as the dashboard shots. Very well done.
The best launch control guide video on TH-cam. Thanks, matey. I'm not sure I'm going to be brave enough to do it unless I end up on the track some day. Too risky 🙈
Glad it helped!
Sweet Camera work KillerH
Great video KillerHERTZ! Nice to see a face behind the voice.
Cheers!
Excellent video as always!
This deserves more likes
Very informative thank u
I've just bought a 2009 59 reg W212 E63 6.2 yesterday and it has this "RS" feature !, Hence I googled this to find out what it does ! and I found your very informative video ! I shall try out this launch control on a private run way when I get the chance !! 😈 Thanks for the video man ! 👍👍👍
Glad it helped! make sure you Subscribe to the channel ☺️
Thank you, that was interesting bro
I love this car in AMG
Very helpful
Hi I have a CLK270 w209 2004 with 174,000 miles with full Mercedes service & parts. What are your thoughts on me getting it a stage 1 tune? Please could you advise? Chris
I have E270CDI W210 170 STOCK, stage 1 220 HP Map Tuned. It makes 0-100 in 6.5 seconds and 0-200 in 25 seconds. It's a beast the I5 Mercedes Engine. I suggest you to do it, i have not had problems for 4 years.
Odd that selecting Race Start doesn't automatically set the Sport+ mode and turn traction control off by itself.
I wish my dad can get a AMG some time
thanks

A friend told me that RS is slower than brake boosting with Traction Off. Have you found that with 0-60 acceleration?
In theory yes, on a dry surface and you get it perfect, otherwise no.
I have a 2021 C63S and I've only used launch control a few times, but today I tried to engage it and it gave me an error. I think it said launch mode not possible. Any ideas what causes this to shut down? Engine temps were in the low 160s.
It's only really a party trick to be honest. Best to get your car scanned on a diagnostic machine to check what error codes it has generated.
Do you have to shift manually when you use RS?
no, it's all automatic :)
Can you shift manually though after doing it? I find it shifts too early sometimes.
Do you hold the accelerator all the way down?
Yes
I don’t think this option is available for the new cls53s? Am I wrong?
Yes it is on the 53
no Way Jose 🤣
What diffuser do you have on the rear?
Check my video here: th-cam.com/video/UJaZlO2O59k/w-d-xo.html
Does the E63 2010 have this function?
Should do if its the W212
Did you sell the cls55? Sad if you did
Yes, 6 months before I got the 63 as per this video...
@@killerhertzmercedes damn bro you should have kept it just for shits and giggles. They don't even cost that much nowadays. Ive seen prices in the UK and it's easily a 5th of anywhere else. Mine was a bit over 50k€
I replaced it with a CLS63 AMG (W218) check my latest videos, I took it to the Nurburgring
Can you do faster launch times if you do it manually. I can't help thinking that the stig wouldn't use AMG launch.
You would get more wheelspin doing it manually...
@@killerhertzmercedes Come and do the next mission motorsport launch control event with me and we'll find out. It's a services charity and they make air strips and timing gear available for our enjoyment.
@@robsmith1234 If you would like to drop me an email with more info about it/when your next going? that would be great - address on my 'About page'
@@killerhertzmercedes will do, love your channel
Does a 2013 MB CLS550 have launch control or cruise control at all?
No, only the AMG versions.
@@killerhertzmercedes thanks, no race start but the base version does have cruise control I checked inside mine and it's on the left side steering wheel lowest control clicker
@@killerhertzmercedes s63 2015 ?

I have a question about my C450 AMG (2016) which was from 2017 called C43. Now the C43 has a launch start but not the C450 - not apparently anyway. Do you know if one still can use launch control?
The cars software which controls RS will be different between those models.
Clarkson, "0-60 in five seconds? It's been six minutes and twelve seconds and technically....he's still at naught."
bit of rigmarole to go through just to pull away quick pain in the arse if you only have the time for traffic lights to change to set it up lol - id just use the SRS HOLD feature much quicker
Its not meant for road use + its alot quicker than simply flooring it :) virtually no wheel spin.
@@killerhertzmercedes I understand killer I own a CLS320cdi I've had the car nearly 3 years only found out its got the feature SRS HOLD lol. Just makes the pull away from lights more interesting instead of hold the brake with your foot and then flooring it now just nail the throttle ;-) oh love your CLS63 AMG sounds sweet great video drive safe bud ;-)
Can you do this in a 2014 cls550
No, only AMG models I'm afraid...
That first launch bogged down a fair bit and probably took at least half a second out of the 0-60 time. Probably because it's a 2011 model. I assume the 2019's are considerably better.
Its not on the finest quality tyres also :)
KillerHERTZ Mercedes Modifications hey man, how do you find the rear seating space on the w218 cls? Would you say it’s better than the C class sedan or fine for 2 adults? Comfortable?
@@av8743 Way better than a C-class, alot more comfortable and better seats. However remember that there are only 2x seats and the roofline is lower, so anyone over say 6'1" will be touching the roof with their heads.
5:45 I saw him running in the background
wait wait what the-
Hidden in every video :)
Hi dude, Could you please do me a favor allowing me to repost a small part of your video. I want to show people how to activate AMG race start but unfortunately I don't have an AMG. I am a Mercedes Diagnostic Technician, I want to show people how to do this . I will give you full credits and anything that you want me to! Let me know. Thanks anyways
Hi there, you can share the actual video sure & give link to video/channel. however please do not use only a section of it within another video. Thanks
@@killerhertzmercedes Thanks for replying. What I mean was I wanted to cut a portion where you showcase how to activate it, I’m not gonna use it within any video. Just a new video where its straight to the point. Your channel name, logo, links to your video and channel will be mentioned and included in the description as well. What do you think?
Hi why I can’t put in RS MODE??
To lounch
@@daninasaudeanu5841 Did you follow all the instructions in the video?
KillerHERTZ Mercedes Modifications yes please
My car launches at 5K rpms is that normal
What model is it?
You can Increase or decrease with the padels when in RS I believe
Ok the Prius is waiting for you at the next light wondering why your just waiting all this time ??😂 gimmick Sells.

???
@KillerHERTZ Mercedes I think he's referring ot the fact you made it sound like you were talking to children. Seat belts on, steering wheel straight 😂😂
@@DNASlotCars Yea exactly
