PERFORMANCE CONTROL — IF
E
QUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Performance
Control feature which allows for coordinating the
operation of various vehicle systems depending
upon the type of driving behavior desired. The
Performance Control feature is controlled through
the Uconnect system and may be accessed by
performing any of the following:
Pushing the Super Track Pack button on the
instrument panel switch bank.
Selecting “Performance Control” from the
“Apps” menu.
Selecting “Performance Control” from within the
Performance Pages menu.
You will be able to enable, disable, and customize
the functionality of the Launch Control and
Performance Control Set-Up features within
Performance Control. Descriptions of these features are provided below.
To access information about the functionality of
these features through the Uconnect system,
press the Info button on the touchscreen.
NOTE:Dodge vehicles equipped with a 6.4L engine,
except for R/T Scat Pack 1320 6.4L non-widebody
vehicles, will use SRT Drive Modes rather than the
Dodge Performance Control Pages. Please refer to
the following sections for further information on
the SRT Drive Modes.

Performance Control Set-Up
Pressing the Drive Mode Set-Up button on the
touchscreen within the Performance Control
screen indicates the real-time status of the various
systems. Pressing the Sport Mode Set-Up, Drag
Mode Set-Up (1320 only), or Default Mode Set-Up
buttons on the touchscreen allows the driver to
configure their individual performance control and
see how those configurations affect the
performance of the vehicle.

WARNING!
Launch Control is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only and should not be used on any
public roadways. It is recommended that this
feature be used in a controlled environment, and
within the limits of the law. The capabilities of
the vehicle as measured by the performance
pages must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner, which can jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents.

Launch Control

This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control
system that is designed to allow the driver to
achieve quick, consistent vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a form of traction
control that manages tire slip while launching the
vehicle. This feature is intended for use during race
events on a closed course where consistent
quarter-mile and 0-to-60 times are desired. The
system is not intended to compensate for lack of
driver experience or familiarity with the race track.
Use of this feature in low traction (cold, wet, gravel,
etc.) conditions may result in excess wheel slip
outside this system’s control resulting in an
aborted launch.
NOTE:
Launch Control should not be used on public
roads. Always check track conditions and the
surrounding area.
Launch Control is not available for the first
500 miles (805 km) of the vehicle’s life.

Launch Control should only be used when the engine
and transmission are at operating temperature.

Launch Control is intended to be used on dry,
paved road surfaces only. Use on slippery or
loose surfaces may cause damage to vehicle
components and is not recommended.

Launch Control is not available in ESC Full Off mode.

Sport Mode

Sport Mode
Sport Mode is a configuration set-up for typical
enthusiast driving. The Transmission and Steering
are both set to their Sport settings. The steering
wheel Paddle switches are enabled. Traction
Control defaults to Normal. Any of these four
settings may be changed to the driver’s
preferences by pressing the buttons on the
touchscreen. Push the Sport button on the
instrument panel switch bank to put the vehicle in
Sport Mode and activate these settings. The
customized settings will only be active when the
Sport button is active.

SAFETY179
If the ABS Warning Light is on, the brake system
should be serviced as soon as possible to restore
the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS
Warning Light does not come on when the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN mode, have the light
repaired as soon as possible.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL (EBC)
S
YSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system. This system
includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake
Assist System (BAS), Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD), Electronic Roll Mitigation
(ERM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Start
Assist (HSA), and Traction Control System (TCS).
These systems work together to enhance both
vehicle stability and control in various driving
conditions.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with Ready
Alert Braking (RAB) and Rain Brake Support (RBS).
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s
braking capability during emergency braking
maneuvers. The system detects an emergency
braking situation by sensing the rate and amount
of brake application and then applies optimum
pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce
braking distances. The BAS complements the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes
very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To
receive the benefit of the system, you must apply
continuous braking pressure during the stopping
sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not
reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no
longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released,
the BAS is deactivated.Brake System Warning Light
The red Brake System Warning Light will turn on
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode
and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on or
comes on while driving, it indicates that the brake
system is not functioning properly and that
immediate service is required. If the Brake System Warning Light does not come on when the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN mode, have the light
repaired as soon as possible.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD manages the distribution of the braking
torque between the front and rear axles by limiting
braking pressure to the rear axle. This is done to
prevent overslip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle
instability, and to prevent the rear axle from
entering the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) before
the front axle.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and
the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines
that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle
and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to potentially
cause wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate
brake and may also reduce engine power to lessen
the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM can only
reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during
severe or evasive driving maneuvers; it cannot
prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as
road conditions, leaving the roadway, or striking
objects or other vehicles.
NOTE:ERM is disabled any time the ESC is in “Full Off”
mode (if equipped). For a complete explanation of
the available ESC modes, see Ú
page 180.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded
by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot
prevent collisions, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of a
BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in
a reckless or dangerous manner, which could
jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of
others.
