AMG auto box shows 2nd gear

[bellers]

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help with this query. When I set C mode in my 2013 C63 and I pull to a standstill the gear selector screen shows 2. I can manually select 1 or select S or S + and the car starts of in first gear. Does the C mode automatically start in 2nd gear or do you think I have a fault? Additionally I can't get into race start even by following the instructions.

In C mode the car will pull away in 2nd by default whereas in the sport modes it will default to 1st.

Race start only works when the car is fully up to temperature.

The owners manual will have all sorts of useful information in it

The instructions above are from the owners manual

On my A45 you need to be in M not S for it to work.

Press the brake all the way down.
Put the car in S+.
Turn the traction into SPORT.
Switch to RS.
Press the Right Paddle to confirm.
While your foot is on the brake, Press down on the throttle.
Release the Brake >>>>>>>>>>
