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
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.

Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine performance and
long life, careful attention must be paid to
engine oil. Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect your
investment:
.Use engine oil approved to the proper
specification and of the proper viscosity
grade. See “Selecting the Right Engine
Oil” in this section.
.Check the engine oil level regularly and
maintain the proper oil level. See
“Checking Engine Oil” and“When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.
.Change the engine oil at the appropriate
time. See“Engine Oil Life System” in the
owner’s manual.
.Always dispose of engine oil properly. See
“What to Do with Used Oil” in this
section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly, every
650 km (400 mi), especially prior to a long
trip. The engine oil dipstick handle is a loop.
See Engine Compartment Overview 027 for
the location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle may be
hot; it could burn you. Use a towel or
glove to touch the dipstick handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Center (DIC)
message displays, check the oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
.To get an accurate reading, park the
vehicle on level ground. Check the engine
oil level after the engine has been off for
at least two hours. Checking the engine
oil level on steep grades or too soon after
engine shutoff can result in incorrect readings. Accuracy improves when
checking a cold engine prior to starting.
Remove the dipstick and check the level.
.If unable to wait two hours, the engine
must be off for at least 15 minutes if the
engine is warm, or at least 30 minutes if
the engine is not warm. Pull out the
dipstick, wipe it with a clean paper towel
or cloth, then push it back in all the way.
Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.
When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at
the tip of the dipstick and the engine has
been off for at least 15 minutes, add 1 L (1
qt) of the recommended oil and then
recheck the level. See
“Selecting the Right
Engine Oil” later in this section for an
explanation of what kind of oil to use. For
engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities
and Specifications 043.

sewers, or into streams or bodies of water.

filter at the next oil change, follow this
timing.

the engine air filter soon, replace the engine
air filter at the earliest convenience.
The system must be reset after the engine
air filter is changed.
If the DIC displays a message to check the
engine air filter system, see your dealer.
