Information
Driving for Better
Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving
tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to
the desired temperature
after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not
required.
.Avoid fast starts and
accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for
long periods of time.
.When road and weather
conditions are appropriate,
use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly
when conditions require.

248 Driving and Operating
Caution
During a first time track or
racing event, high axle
temperatures can occur.
Damage could be caused to
the axle and would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not drive as
long or as fast the first time
the vehicle is driven on the
track or raced.
.The axle lubricant should be
replaced with new lubricant.
.On vehicles without a
differential cooler, additional
cooling capacity is required
for continuous competitive
driving. The V-Series
Blackwing has a differential
cooler, so no additional
cooling capacity is
necessary.
Engine OilCaution
If the vehicle is used for
track events and
competitive driving, the
engine may use more oil
than it would with normal
use. Low oil levels can
damage the engine. Check
the oil level often and
maintain the proper level.
See Engine Oil 0383.
Check the oil level often during
track events and competitive
driving, and keep the oil level
at or near the upper mark. See
“Checking the Engine Oil" in
Engine Oil 0383.
Fuel
Use premium unleaded
gasoline with a posted octane
rating of 93 at a track event.
Unleaded gasoline with a
posted octane rating of 91 may be used, but
performance will be degraded.
See Prohibited Fuels
0361.
Automatic or Manual
Transmission Fluid
Have the transmission fluid
set to the track specific oil
level prior to track usage.
Transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours
of track usage. Any
transmission level set or
change should be performed
at the dealer.
Brakes
Battery Disconnect
Disconnect the battery before
servicing the hydraulic brake
system. It is critical to
disconnect the battery before
bleeding the system, replacing
the pads, or any other work.
The battery must be
disconnected to prevent the
brake master cylinder from
pressurizing the hydraulic
system during its automated

Tire Inflation Pressure High
Speed
See Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation0429.
Tire Inflation Pressure for
Track Driving
For driving on a race course,
if the vehicle is equipped with
275/35ZR19 (100Y) and
305/30ZR19 (102Y) tires, set
the cold (stationary) tire
pressures to 28 psi. During
track sessions, set the tire
pressures at 35 to 38 psi for
hot tires. If pressures exceed
38 psi, adjust the pressures
down to 35 to 38 psi. Return
the tires to the recommended
cold tire inflation pressure
when track driving has ended.
Driving and Operating
{Warning
Operating the vehicle at high
speeds can be dangerous.
Improper tire inflation
pressure can put additional (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
strain on the tires and can
cause a sudden failure. Make
sure the tires are in
excellent condition, and use
the correct cold tire inflation
pressure for the vehicle load
and track/course.
{Warning
Tracks/courses put high
loads on tires operating at
high speed, which can lead
to tire failure if not inflated
properly. Always limit vehicle
cargo to the driver plus one
passenger with no additional
cargo.
{Warning
Track/course loads wear
tires both on the tread and
internal to the tire. When
driven in track/course(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
conditions, even if tread is
not worn down to the
treadwear indicator, tires
must be replaced after the
equivalent of two tanks of
fuel or approximately 160 km
(100 mi).
Custom Launch Control (If
Equipped)
Custom Launch Control allows
the following parameters for
Launch Control to be modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
.Surface Type
To adjust the Launch RPM, all
of these conditions must
be met:
.The vehicle must be in Track
Mode. See “Track Mode”
under Driver Mode Control
