LAUNCH MODE
This system maximizes acceleration traction for straight line racing.
1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop on a level track surface with the engine running.
2. Set the steering wheel for straight ahead driving.
3. Fully depress the clutch and select the first gear position.
4. Push and release the “LAUNCH” button (located on the steering wheel controls).
5. Rapidly press the accelerator pedal to
the floor within one second.
NOTE:
If the cluster launch DID message indicates
all conditions are correct for launch and the
throttle is pressed to the floor quickly
(within approximately 1/2 second) the sys-
tem will hold the engine speed to a preset
speed (below the engine rev limiter speed).
6. Release the clutch aggressively. Do not
ride the clutch.
Release the accelerator pedal to deactivate
launch control. Pushing the launch control
button or actuating the brakes will also
deactivate launch control.
NOTE:
