EPAS and launch control optimizing the performance for all driving
conditions.
ADVANCETRAC® SPORT MODE
The AdvanceTrac® system provides an available sport mode specially
calibrated for the GT500’s unique performance characteristics. This can
be selected utilizing the stability control off switch. See theDriving
section of theOwner’s Manualfor more information.
