Starting from zero and working its way up to infinity, the timer will help you keep track of lap times, 0-60 times, and drag race durations. Of course, all of these are the same thing, but it just goes to show how much attention to detail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/mercedes-benz-models-scottsdale-az\">Mercedes-Benz<\/a> puts in its cars. Its features are buried so deep, sometimes you only find out about them after you read about them online!<\/p>\n<h3>Lap Timer<\/h3>\n<p>Timing a quarter-mile drag doesn&#8217;t really make sense because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/clp-mercedes-amg-performance-center-scottsdale-az\">Mercedes-AMG cars<\/a> are all automatic and rely heavily on its internal computer to make sure it launches and accelerates exactly the same every time. For this, you should be able to Google your quarter-mile time. Likewise, measuring 0-60 is obsolete as well unless you are troubleshooting a mechanical problem. That leaves us with lap time. The lap function is probably the most practical function of the Mercedes-Benz RACETIMER (\u2122). When you cross the finish line, hit the lap button to store your time and start again at zero. With this, you will know whether you are improving or losing at the track.<\/p>\n<h3>How To Use<\/h3>\n<p>To engage the Mercedes-Benz RACETIMER (\u2122), you must use the buttons on the steering wheel. Filter through the functions until L1 pops up on the screen. Then hit enter to start your first lap.
