G-FORCE
Performance Pages — G-Force
When selected, this screen displays all four
G-Force values as well as steering angle.
When G-Force is selected, the following features
will be available:
Vehicle Speed:
Measures the current speed of the vehicle in
either mph or km/h, starting at zero with no
maximum value.
Front G-Force:
Measures the peak braking force on the front of
the vehicle.
Right G-Force:
Measures the peak force on the right side of the
vehicle.
Left G-Force:
Measures the peak force on the left side of the
vehicle.
Rear G-Force:
Measures the peak acceleration force on the
rear of the vehicle.
NOTE:Front, Right, Left, and Rear G-Forces are all peak
values. These readings can be reset by clearing
peak G-Force on the instrument cluster.
Steering Wheel Angle
Steering Wheel Angle utilizes the steering angle
sensor to measure the degree of the steering
wheel relative to zero (straight ahead) reference
angle. The zero degree reference angle
measurement indicates a steering wheel
straight ahead position.
The friction circle display shows instantaneous
G-Force as a highlight and previous G-Force as
dots within the circle. The system records previous
G-Force for three minutes. If there are multiple
samples at a given point, the color of the dot will
darken from blue to red. Vectors more frequent will
show in red; infrequent vectors will show in blue.

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.

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

SAFETY
SAFETY FEATURES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and
brake performance under most braking conditions.
The system automatically prevents wheel lock, and
enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that
the ABS is working properly each time the vehicle
is started and driven. During this self-check, you
may hear a slight clicking sound as well as some
related motor noises.
The ABS is activated during braking when the
system detects one or more wheels are beginning
to lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow, gravel,
bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops
may increase the likelihood of ABS activation(s).
You also may experience the following normal
characteristics when the ABS activates:
ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may
continue to hear for a short time after the stop)
Brake pedal pulsations
A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the
stopThe ABS is designed to function with the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification
may result in degraded ABS performance.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
The yellow ABS 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 ABS Warning Light remains on or comes on
while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion
of the brake system is not functioning and that
service is required. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally if
the ABS Warning Light is on.
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.
WARNING!
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip
-
ment that may be susceptible to interference
caused by improperly installed or high output
radio transmitting equipment. This interference
can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capa -
bility. Installation of such equipment should be
performed by qualified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish
their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer.
Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase braking or steering efficiency beyond
that afforded by the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.
WARNING!
