94 Instruments and Controls
Compass
The vehicle has a compass display
in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
and vehicle speed information.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna,
located on the roof, for long periods
of time with objects that may
interfere with the antenna's ability to
receive a satellite signal. The
compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a
GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when
the GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
Clock
The time and date for the clock can
be set using the infotainment
system. See“Time/Date”in
“System” under“Settings” in the
infotainment manual.
Power Outlets
The vehicle has an accessory
power outlet on the center floor
console in front of the cupholders.
It can be used to plug in electrical
equipment, such as a cell phone or
an MP3 player.
The accessory power outlet does
not work when the ignition is turned
off and the driver door is opened.
This helps to preserve the battery
life of the vehicle.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload vehicle and adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see
your dealer.
Caution
Adding any electrical equipment
to the vehicle may damage it or
keep other components from
working as they should. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not use
equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of
15 amperes. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical
equipment.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0218.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from
the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. The power

return to normal operation after a
short period when no spirited driving
is detected.
Driver Mode Control Switch
The Driver Mode Control has three
or four modes: Tour, Sport, Snow/
Ice, and Track. Press
yorzon
the MODE switch on the center
console to make a mode selection.
Pressing the switch will display the
moding menu in the instrument
cluster with all available ride modes.
Every switch press will select and
activate the next available mode.
When Sport, Snow/Ice, or Track Mode is selected, a unique and
persistent indicator will be displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Tour Mode
Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth, soft
ride. This setting provides a
balanced setting between comfort
and handling. This is the
standard mode.
Sport Mode
Use where road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response.
When Sport Mode is selected, the
transmission may downshift to a
lower gear for better performance.
The transmission will continue to
shift automatically but can hold a
lower gear longer than it would in
the Tour Mode based on braking,
throttle input, and vehicle lateral
acceleration. See
Automatic
Transmission 0183. The steering
will change to provide more precise
control. If the vehicle has Magnetic
Ride Control, the suspension will change to provide better cornering
performance. If the vehicle is
equipped with Active Exhaust, the
exhaust valves will open earlier and
more often. Competitive Driving
Mode can be accessed through this
mode by pressing
Yon the
console twice.
This Competitive Driving Mode is
only on SS, 1LE, and ZL1 vehicles.
For example, a vehicle with a
V6 engine and automatic
transmission will have Sport Mode,
but will not be able to access
Competitive Driving Mode.
Snow/Ice Mode
If equipped, use when more traction
is needed during slippery
conditions. The automatic
transmission will upshift normally
when the vehicle is moving. The
acceleration will adjust to help
provide a smoother launch. The
automatic transmission will also shift
differently to assist in maintaining
traction.

Driving and Operating 201
This optional handling mode can be
selected by pressing the TCS/
StabiliTrak/ESC button on the
console two times. The appropriate
message displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
When the TCS/StabiliTrak/ESC
button is pressed again, the TCS
and StabiliTrak/ESC systems are
on. The appropriate message
displays briefly in the DIC.
Launch Control
If the vehicle has the LT1 10 speed
transmission, seeTrack Events and
Competitive Driving 0157 for
custom launch control information. A Launch Control feature is
available, within Competitive Driving
Mode, to allow the driver to achieve
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
sixty and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.
Competitive Driving Mode is
selected.
. The vehicle is not moving.
. The steering wheel is pointing
straight.
Manual Transmissions
. The clutch is pressed to floor
and the vehicle is in
1 (First) gear.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle. The Launch Control feature will
initially limit engine speed as the
driver rapidly applies 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. Complete shifts
are described in
Manual
Transmission 0188.
Automatic Transmissions
. The brake pedal must be 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.)
After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode.
