Default Mode
Default Mode
The vehicle will always start in Default Mode. This mode
is for typical driving conditions. While in Default Mode,
the Engine/Transmission, and Traction will operate in
their Normal settings and cannot be changed. The
Steering Assist may be configured to “Normal”, “Sport”,
or “Comfort” by pressing the corresponding button on
the touchscreen. The paddle shifters (if equipped) may
be enabled or disabled while in this mode.
Default Mode Set-Up
Launch Control
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.
WARNING!
Launch Mode 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.
21_LD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 176

MULTIMEDIA177
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 to activate these
settings. The customized settings will only be active
when the Sport button is active. Sport Mode Set-Up
Possible Performance Control configurations are
listed below with accompanying descriptions.
The information contained in the list below can
also be accessed from within the mode Set-Up
menus. To access the information, press the Info
button on the touchscreen from the mode Set-Up
menu, and use the Left/Right arrows to toggle
through available descriptions. The title for each
system in the Set-Up menu can be pressed, which
provides the descriptions for each function of that
system.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL (EBC)
S
YSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced Electronic
Brake Control (EBC) system. This system includes
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill
Start Assist (HSA), Traction Control System (TCS),
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Electronic Roll
Mitigation (ERM). 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 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.
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.
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 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, striking
objects or other vehicles.
NOTE:ERM is disabled any time the ESC is in “Full Off”
mode (if equipped). See Ú page 182 for a
complete explanation of the available ESC modes.
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.
