five seconds to turn StabiliTrak/ESC
off, the cruise control buttons on the
left side of the steering wheel will be
inoperative.
To regain cruise control capability,
press

StabiliTrak/ESC operation.
Performance Traction
Management (PTM) (ZL1 Only)
PTM is not available on
convertibles. Convertibles have
Competitive Driving Mode instead.
See “Competitive Driving Mode”
previously in this section.
PTM integrates the TCS,
StabiliTrak/ESC, 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.

To experience the performance
benefit of PTM, after entering a
curve and at the point where you
would normally start to increase
acceleration, fully press the
accelerator pedal. The PTM system
will modify the level of engine power
for a smooth and consistent
corner exit.

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 traction off 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” in Track Events
and Competitive Driving in the
owner ’s manual.
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
200Y(147 lb ft) of breakaway
torque between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement

28 Driving and Operating
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/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) 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/ESC
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.
