Sport: Exhaust valves operate toprovide a sporty exhaust character.
Track Driver Mode
Track Driver Mode and LaunchControl are systems designed toallow increased performance whileaccelerating and/or cornering. Thisis accomplished by regulating andoptimizing the engine, brakes, andsuspension performance. Thesemodes are for use at a closedcourse race track and are notintended for use on public roads.These systems will not compensatefor driver inexperience or lack offamiliarity with the race track.
{Warning
Track Driver Mode and Launch
Control change the way
StabiliTrak and TCS perform and
should not be used on public
roads. These modes should only
be used on closed courses by
experienced drivers.
Caution
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not
have traction may cause damage
to the transmission. Damage
caused by misuse of the vehicle
is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not attempt to shift
when the drive wheels do not
have traction.
Racing will result in the prematurewear of brakes, tires, and drivelinecomponents. Inspect and replacecomponents as necessary.

Launch Control (ManualTransmissions Only)
This feature is available in TrackDriver Mode, and allows the vehicleto reach high levels of accelerationin a straight line. Launch Controladjusts tire slip during standing startlaunches. Use this feature duringclosed course race events whereconsistent zero to sixty and quartermile times are desirable.
Launch Control is onlyavailable when:
.Track Driver Mode is selected.
.The vehicle is not moving.
.The steering wheel is pointingstraight.
.The clutch pedal is pressed andthe vehicle is in 1 (First) gear.
.The accelerator pedal is rapidlyapplied to wide open throttle.
This feature initially limits enginespeed as the accelerator pedal israpidly pressed to wide openthrottle. A smooth, quick release ofthe clutch pedal, while maintainingthe fully pressed accelerator pedal,will manage wheel slip. SeeManualTr a n s m i s s i o n0240.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axlecan give more traction on snow,mud, ice, sand, or gravel. Whentraction is low, this feature allowsthe drive wheel with the mosttraction to move the vehicle. Thelimited-slip rear axle also gives thedriver enhanced control whencornering hard or completing amaneuver, such as a lane change.For vehicles with a limited-slip rearaxle, driven under severeconditions, the rear axle fluid shouldbe changed.

{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
asteadyspeed.Donotuse
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak®
system and begins to limit wheelspin while using cruise control, thecruise control will automaticallydisengage. SeeTr a c t i o n C o n t r o l /Electronic Stability Control0245.
When road conditions allow you tosafely use it again, the cruisecontrol can be turned back on.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a uniqueidentification code. The identificationcode needs to be matched to a newtire/wheel position after rotating thevehicle’stiresorreplacingoneormore of the TPMS sensors. Also,the TPMS sensor matching processshould be performed after replacingasparetirewitharoadtirecontaining the TPMS sensor. Themalfunction light and the DICmessage, if equipped, should go offat the next ignition cycle. Thesensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions, using a TPMSrelearn tool, in the following order:left front tire, right front tire, rightrear tire, and left rear tire. See yourdealer for service or to purchase arelearn tool. A TPMS relearn toolcan also be purchased. See TirePressure Monitor Sensor ActivationTo o l a t
www.gmtoolsandequipment.com orcall 1-800-GM TOOLS(1-800-468-6657).
There are two minutes to match thefirst tire/wheel position, andfive minutes overall to match all fourtire/wheel positions. If it takeslonger, the matching process stopsand must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matchingprocess is:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Place the vehicle power modein ON/RUN/START. SeeIgnition Positions0229.
3. Press MENU to select theVehicle Information Menu inthe Driver InformationCenter (DIC).
4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll tothe Tire Pressure Menu Itemscreen.
5. Press and hold SET/CLR tobegin the sensor matchingprocess.

6. If requested, press SET/CLRagain to confirm the selection.
The horn sounds twice tosignal the receiver is in relearnmode and the TIRE LEARN orTIRE LEARNING ACTIVEmessage displays on the DICscreen.
7. Start with the left front tire.
8. Place the relearn tool againstthe tire sidewall, near the valvestem. Then press the button toactivate the TPMS sensor.Ahornchirpconfirmsthatthesensor identification code hasbeen matched to this tire andwheel position.
9. Proceed to the right front tire,and repeat the procedure inStep 8.
10. Proceed to the right rear tire,and repeat the procedure inStep 8.
