Driving and Operating 235
When in Sport Mode, the automatic
transmission will shift automatically
but hold a lower gear longer than it
would in the normal driving mode
based on braking, throttle input, and
vehicle lateral acceleration. See
Automatic Transmission0221. The
steering will change to provide more
precise control. If the vehicle has
Magnetic Ride Control, the
suspension will change to provide
better cornering performance. If the
vehicle is equipped with Active
Exhaust, the exhaust valves will
open earlier and more often.
Competitive Driving Mode can be
accessed through this mode by
pressing the button with this
gicon
twice.
Snow/Ice Mode
Use when more traction is needed
during slippery conditions. The
automatic transmission will upshift
normally when the vehicle is
moving. The acceleration will adjust
to help provide a smoother launch.
The automatic transmission will also
shift differently to assist in
maintaining traction.
When selected, the Snow/Ice Mode
indicator will display in the DIC.
This feature is not intended for use
when the vehicle is stuck in sand,
mud, ice, snow, or gravel. If the
vehicle becomes stuck, see If the
Vehicle Is Stuck 0207.
Track Mode
Use when maximum vehicle
handling is desired.
When selected, the Track Mode
indicator will display in the DIC.
When in Track Mode, the automatic
transmission and steering will
function similar to Sport Mode. The
accelerator pedal is adjusted to give
maximum control during the highest
level of spirited driving. The
Magnetic Ride Control will be set to
the optimum level for vehicle
responsiveness. If the vehicle is
equipped with Active Exhaust, the
exhaust valves will open.
Competitive Driving Mode can be
accessed through this mode by
pressing the button with this
gicon.
There are attributes that vary by
mode shown below. Not all vehicles
have all features, depending on the
vehicle options.

Competitive Driving Mode
Competitive Driving Mode and
Launch Control are systems
designed to allow increased
performance while accelerating and/
or cornering. This is accomplished
by regulating and optimizing the
engine, brakes, and suspension
performance. These modes are for
use at a closed course race track
and are not intended for use on
public roads. They will not compensate for a driver
’s
inexperience or lack of familiarity
with the race track. Drivers who
prefer to allow the system to have
more control of the engine, brakes,
and suspension are advised to turn
the normal TCS and StabiliTrak
systems on.
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.
Competitive Driving Mode allows full
engine power while the StabiliTrak
system helps maintain directional
control of the vehicle by selective
brake application. In this mode, TCS
is off and Launch Control is
available. Adjust your driving style to account for the available engine
power. See
“Launch Control” later in
this section.
These lights are on when the
vehicle is in the Competitive
Driving Mode.
