Supplemental Power Steering Deflectors
The supplementary power steering
deflectors, if equipped, provide additional
cooling to the power steering gear during
track events. Remove the noise shields and
install the deflectors as directed by the
enclosed instruction sheet. Remove the
deflectors and reinstall the noise shields
immediately after track use to protect the
engine compartment from additional water
intrusion.
Adjustable Front Struts (ZL1 1LE Only)
Camber Position for Track Events
The front strut top mount can be positioned
two ways. The original setting is in the
street position, but it can be turned 180° to
the track position for additional negative
camber on the front.To adjust the position:
1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are slightly off the ground.
2. From the bottom side of the strut topmount, remove the Allen bolt that
secures the top mount alignment pin to
the top mount.
3. Remove the three strut mount bolts andthe alignment pin.

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.

PTM Sport 1
‐For use by drivers familiar with the track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is on and more engine
power is available than lower modes.
PTM Sport 2
‐ For use by drivers familiar with the track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is off and engine power
available is the same as in Sport 1.
PTM Race
‐ For use by drivers familiar with the track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is off and engine power is
available for maximum cornering speed.
In any PTM Mode, Launch Control is
available. Use PTM Race for the most
consistent performance during drag strip
use. See “Custom Launch Control” in Track
Events and Competitive Driving in the
owner’s manual.
Press and release
Yto turn off PTM and
return to TCS and StabiliTrak/ESC. The
traction off light
iand StabiliTrak/ESC OFF
light
gwill go out.
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.

24 Driving and Operating
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 2000 Y(1475 lb ft) of
breakaway torque between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement 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 1LE, ZL1 coupe, and SS 1LE are
calibrated uniquely and optimized for their
unique powertrain and chassis combinations.
