Launch Control
If equipped, Launch Control is
available within Competitive Driving
Mode and Performance Traction
Management (PTM) to allow high
levels of vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a
form of traction control that
manages tire spin while launching
the vehicle. This feature is intended
for use during closed course race
events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is
selected or any of the
Performance Traction
Management modes are
selected. The TCS light comes
on in the instrument cluster and
the appropriate Driver
Information Center (DIC)
message displays.
. The vehicle is not moving.
. The steering wheel is pointing
straight. Manual Transmissions
.
The clutch is fully pressed and
the transmission is in
1 (First) gear.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied and held to wide open
throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the clutch, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip.
Automatic Transmissions
. The brake pedal is firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent
to a panic brake event.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle.
If the vehicle rolls due to wide
open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal
more firmly, and re-apply the
accelerator to wide open throttle. Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the brake pedal, while maintaining
the fully pressed accelerator pedal,
will manage wheel slip.
After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode or PTM.
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM,
and Launch Control are systems
designed for a closed course race
track and not intended for use on
public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of
driver experience or familiarity with
the race track.
Custom Launch Control may be
available through the Settings
menu, if equipped. See
“Custom
Launch Control” inTrack Events and
Competitive Driving 014.
