Driving and Operating 301
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.
Competitive Driving Mode,
PTM, and Launch Control are
systems designed for a closed
course race track and not
intended for public roads. The
systems are not intended to
compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with
the race track.Limited-Slip
Differential
If equipped, the Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD)
is automatically activated.
eLSD actively monitors vehicle
sensors and driver inputs to
determine the amount of
change for the conditions.
With eLSD, the vehicle has:
.Enhanced high-speed
control.
.Improved traction through
corners, allowing more
acceleration.
.More precise steering.
.Increased vehicle agility.
.Integration with StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability
Control (ESC).
For vehicles with eLSD, driven
under severe conditions, the
rear axle fluid should be
changed. See Competitive
Driving Mode 0298 and
Maintenance Schedule 0469.
Cruise Control
{
Warning
Cruise control can be
dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a
steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be
dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do
not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
With cruise control, a speed of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more can be maintained
without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control
does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
If equipped with a manual
transmission, the cruise
control will remain active when

the gears are shifted. The
cruise is disengaged if the
clutch is pressed for several
seconds.
If the Traction Control/
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system begins
to limit wheel spin while using
cruise control, the cruise
control automatically
disengages. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control0290. If a collision
alert occurs when cruise
control is activated, cruise
control is disengaged. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0342. When road
conditions allow cruise control
to be safely used, it can be
turned back on.
Cruise control will disengage if
either TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC
is turned off.
If the brakes are applied,
cruise control disengages.
J: Press to turn the system
on and off. A white indicator
appears in the instrument
cluster when cruise is
turned on.
RES+ : If there is a set speed
in memory, press briefly to
resume to that speed or press
and hold to accelerate. If the
cruise control is already active,
use to increase vehicle speed.
To increase speed by 1 km/h
(1 mph), press RES+ to the first
detent. To increase speed to
the next 5 km/h (5 mph) mark
on the speedometer, press
RES+ to the second detent. SET−
:Press briefly to set the
speed and activate cruise
control. If the cruise control is
already active, use to

the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If the Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system activates while
ACC is engaged, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control0290. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on. ACC will not
engage if the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC electronic
stability control system is
disabled.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.{Warning
ACC has limited braking
ability and may not have
time to slow the vehicle
down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle
you are following. This can
occur when vehicles
suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane.
Also see “Alerting the
Driver” in this section.
Complete attention is
always required while driving
and you should be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0235.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake
for children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads
or when the sensors are
blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may
not detect a vehicle
ahead. Keep the entire
front of the vehicle clean.
.Visibility is low, such as in
fog, rain, or snow
conditions. ACC
performance is limited
under these conditions.
.On slippery roads where
fast changes in tire
traction can cause
excessive wheel slip.
.When towing a trailer.

Reducing Speed While ACC Is
at a Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do
one of the following:
.Use the brake to get to the
desired lower speed.
Release the brake and press
SET−. The vehicle will now
cruise at the lower speed.
.Press and hold SET− until
the desired lower speed is
displayed, then release it.
.To decrease speed in
smaller increments, press
SET− to the first detent. For
each press, the vehicle goes
about 1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
.To decrease speed in larger
increments, press or hold
SET− to the second detent. For each press, the vehicle
speed decreases to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be
decreased while the vehicle
is stopped.
.To decrease speed while the
vehicle is stopped, press
SET−
until the desired set

310 Driving and Operating
Near Gap Setting
Since each gap setting
corresponds to a following
time (Far, Medium, or Near),
the following distance will vary
based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the
further back your vehicle will
follow a vehicle detected
ahead. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when
selecting the following gap.
The range of selectable gaps
may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions. Changing the gap setting
automatically changes the
alert timing sensitivity (Far,
Medium, or Near) for the

pedal to resume ACC.
Following distance gap will
return to the original selection
after hold. Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged, driver
action may be required when
ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because of
approaching a vehicle too
rapidly.
When this condition occurs,
the collision alert symbol will
flash on the windshield. Either
eight beeps will sound from
the front, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse
five times. To view available
settings for this feature, touch
the Settings icon on the
infotainment home page.
