7. Release the brake pedal.
8. There are 15 seconds tocomplete the burnout and exit.
9. To release the brakes and roll out, press
1and SEL at the
same time. If the burnout is not completed in
15 seconds, torque will be reduced
to idle, the parking brake will be
applied, Line Lock releases, and
Custom Launch Control will be
disabled.
Ensure the parking brake is
disengaged to re-enter Launch
Control.
Automatic
Transmission
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays the current gear selected in
the lower right corner. When Sport
Mode is active, an S is displayed.
If Manual Mode is active, an M
displays next to the current gear
selected.

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 StabiliTrak
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.
Do not use cruise control in
performance driving situations.
When StabiliTrak is in a
performance driving state by
pressing
Ytwice for Competitive
Driving Mode or Performance Traction Management Mode, or by
pressing and holding
Yfor
five seconds to turn StabiliTrak Off,
the cruise control buttons on the left
side of the steering wheel will be
inoperative.
To regain cruise control capability,
press
Yonce to return to regular
StabiliTrak operation.
Performance Traction
Management (PTM) (SS 1LE
and ZL1 Only)
PTM integrates the TCS,
StabiliTrak, and Competitive Driving
Mode systems to provide improved
and consistent performance when
cornering. The amount of available
engine power is based on the mode
selected, track conditions, driver
skill, and radius of each corner.
These lights are on when the
vehicle is in PTM Mode.
With Track mode engaged, select
the optional handling mode by
pressing
Ytwo times. A menu with
the PTM modes will appear.

Limited-Slip Differential
The Electronic Limited-Slip
Differential (eLSD) is a hydraulically
actuated clutch system. It can
infinitely vary the clutch
engagement between 0 and 200
Yof breakaway torque between
the rear wheels. It responds to full
engagement within 0.150 seconds
when necessary. Smaller clutch
adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
. Uses the vehicle sensors and
driver inputs to determine the
optimum amount of clutch
engagement for the conditions.
. Improves traction while
cornering by changing the
engagement to achieve a
balance between directional
control and acceleration.
. Provides optimal engagement
for high-speed control and
stability without affecting precise
steering and turn-in. .
Improves vehicle stability during
spirited driving and evasive
maneuvers. Is fully integrated
with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction
Management (PTM) systems.
There are unique calibrations based
on the Traction Control System
(TCS) setting. eLSD modes change
automatically when
Yis pressed.
No unique input from the driver is
required.
. Mode 1 is the standard mode
when the vehicle is started.
It provides a touring calibration
with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in
PTM Wet mode.
. Mode 2 is engaged when both
TCS and StabiliTrak are turned
off. This calibration provides
more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners. .
Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is
engaged in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and
Race modes. This is a nimble
calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2,
however, it is integrated to work
with PTM.
. Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is
selected off, but StabiliTrak
remains on. Vehicle stability is
still the priority, while allowing for
optimized traction out of corners.
The ZL1 coupe and SS 1LE are
calibrated uniquely and optimized
for their unique powertrain and
chassis combinations.
