Driving and Operating 21
Caution
If the vehicle does not shift gears, the
transmission could be damaged. Have the
vehicle serviced right away.
Performance Shifting
While driving in Sport Mode and Track
Mode, if Tap Shift has not been activated,
the transmission determines when the
vehicle is being driven in a competitive
manner. The transmission may remain in a
gear longer than it would in the normal
driving mode based on throttle input and
vehicle lateral acceleration. If there is a rapid
reduction in throttle from a heavy throttle
position at high rpm, the transmission will
maintain the current gear up to near redline
rpm. While braking, the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next lower
gear keeping engine speed above
approximately 3000 rpm. If the vehicle is
then driven for a short time at a steady
speed, and without high cornering loads, the
transmission will upshift one gear at a time,
until 10 (Tenth) gear. After shifting to
10 (Tenth) gear, or coming to a complete
stop, the transmission will return to normal
Sport Mode shifting.
Ride Control Systems
Competitive Driving Mode
Competitive Driving Mode, Performance
Traction Management, and Launch Control
are systems designed to allow increased
performance while accelerating and/or
cornering. This is accomplished by regulating
and optimizing the engine, brakes, and
suspension performance. These modes are
for use at a closed course race track and are
not intended for use on public roads. They
will not compensate for driver inexperience
or lack of familiarity with the race track.
Drivers who prefer to allow the system to
have more control of the engine, brakes,
and suspension are advised to turn the
normal Traction Control System (TCS) and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) on.
Caution
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not have
traction may cause damage to the
transmission. Damage caused by misuse
of the vehicle is not covered by the
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
vehicle warranty. Do not attempt to shift
when the drive wheels do not have
traction.
Competitive Driving Mode allows full engine
power while StabiliTrak/ESC helps maintain
directional control of the vehicle by selective
brake application. In this mode, TCS is off
and Launch Control is available. Adjust your
driving style to account for the available
engine power. See “Launch Control”later in
this section.
Do not use cruise control in performance
driving situations.
When StabiliTrak/ESC is in a performance
driving state by pressing
Ytwice for
Competitive Driving Mode or Performance
Traction Management Mode, or by pressing
and holding
Yfor 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
Y
once to return to regular StabiliTrak/ESC
operation.

32 Vehicle Care
{Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator hoses,
or other engine parts. They can be very
hot and can burn you. Do not run the
engine if there is a leak; all coolant could
leak out. That could cause an engine fire
and can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.
Caution
Do not use anything other than a mix of
DEX-COOL coolant that meets GM
Standard GMW3420 and clean, drinkable
water. Anything else can cause damage
to the engine cooling system and the
vehicle, which would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Engine Coolant
See”Engine Coolant” under“Cooling
System” in the owner’s manual.
Engine Overheating
See“Engine Overheating” in the owner’s
manual.
Brakes
Due to California and Washington law, brake
service for some high-performance Camaros
manufactured after December 31, 2020,
cannot be conducted using GM original
equipment brake pads in those states.
Service requiring original equipment brake
pads can be performed at any GM
dealership in the remaining 48 states.
Otherwise, replacement of brake pads in
California or Washington will require
replacement of additional brake system
components. See your dealer to verify the
manufacture date for your vehicle.
Wheels and Tires
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has 285/30ZR20,
305/30ZR20, 305/30ZR19, or 325/30ZR19
size tires, they are classified as
low-profile tires. Caution
Low-profile tires are more susceptible to
damage from road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires. Tire and/or
wheel assembly damage can occur when
coming into contact with road hazards
like potholes, or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb. The warranty
does not cover this type of damage. Keep
tires set to the correct inflation pressure
and when possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.
Competition Oriented Tires
This vehicle may come with 305/30ZR19 and
325/30ZR19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R
competition oriented tires that are DOT
approved for street use. Competition
oriented tires use a special tread pattern
and compound that provide more grip than
normal road tires. The minimum tread depth
will be reached earlier than typical tires,
resulting in reduced tire life. This special
tread pattern and compound will have
decreased performance in cold climates,
heavy rain, and standing water. It is
recommended that winter tires be installed
