ABOUT LAUNCH CONTROL
Note:
Only use this feature in a controlled
environment, such as a track. Launch control
is not for use in normal driving.
Note: Launch control is not available when
in the Wet drive mode.
Your vehicle has a launch control feature
that uses clutch and engine controls to
reduce wheel spin or slip on a hard
acceleration from a standing start.
To operate launch control, your vehicle
must meet the following conditions:
• You must be in any drive mode other
than Wet drive mode.
• You must close the doors, front hood
and rear hatch.
• Your vehicle should be on a level
surface.
• You must disengage the electric park
brake.
• You must be at a complete stop with
the brake pedal applied and the
transmission selector in drive (D).
• Transmission clutch fluid temperature
must be in the normal operating
temperature range.
• No powertrain or brake system warning
indicators are active.
Launch Control remains active until:
• You switch the feature off through the
display screen.
• Your vehicle no longer meets the
conditions required for launch control
to operate. USING LAUNCH CONTROL
To use Launch Control:
•
Activate the launch control feature
through the display screen. See
General Information (page 69).
• When activated, the LC icon appears
in white inside the instrument cluster.
• With your vehicle at a complete stop,
hold the brake pedal firmly and press
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle.
• When the engine reaches the required
RPM and your vehicle meets all other
system requirements, the LC icon turns
from white to green and the vehicle is
ready to launch.
• Quickly release the brake pedal and
carefully steer your vehicle when it
accelerates from a stop. The launch
control feature controls wheel spin as
you accelerate.
• After completing the run and stopping,
the LC icon returns to white.
• If any operating conditions are not
within specification, the LC icon turns
grey with a strikethrough.
• You can switch launch control off
through the display screen.
See
General Information (page 69).

We engineer and test all motor vehicles
and their components for reliable, regular
driving. Under various conditions,
long-term storage may lead to degraded
engine performance or failure unless you
use specific precautions to preserve engine
components.
General
Note:
Do not park your vehicle in facilities
that use parking platforms or elevators that
lift your vehicle. The vehicle Warranty may
not cover damage caused to your vehicle as
a result of using this type of equipment.
• Store all vehicles inside a garage or
building in a dry, ventilated place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible. Use
a soft, breathable vehicle cover.
Body
• Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing
and the underside of front fenders.
• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.
Engine
• Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminates which may
cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast
idle with the climate controls set to
defrost until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. •
With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running.
• If your vehicle is stored for more than
a few months, we recommend that you
change the engine oil before you use
your vehicle again.
Fuel system
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle and add
commercially available fuel stabilizer.
Run the engine for a minimum of one
minute to ensure that treated fuel has
circulated through the system.
Cooling system
• Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
Battery
• Connect your vehicle to the battery
charger/maintainer provided with your
vehicle whenever you store your vehicle
for more than 2 weeks.
• Connect the wires as shown in the
illustration. See Changing the 12V
Battery (page 160).
Brakes
• Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
