32 Driving and Operating
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.
