Performance Driving
If equipped, Competitive Driving mode,
Performance Traction Management (PTM),
and Launch Control are systems designed to
allow increased performance while
accelerating and/or cornering. This is
accomplished by regulating and optimizing
the engine, brakes, and suspension performance. These modes are for use at a
closed course race track and are not
intended for use on public roads. They will
not compensate for driver inexperience or
lack of familiarity with a race track.
Drivers who prefer to allow the system to
have more control of the engine, brakes,
and suspension are advised to turn on the
normal traction control and StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems on.
If equipped with E-Ray, there is a
Performance app on the infotainment screen
that shows the vehicle electric and engine
power/torque. See
“E-Ray Performance App”
later in this section for more information.
E-Ray Performance App
If equipped with E-Ray, to access the
Performance App, select the performance
app icon on the infotainment screen. The
landing screen of the Performance app is the
gauges page.
Gauges
The Gauges page shows the Electric
Power/Torque on the left gauge and the
engine power/torque on the right gauge.
Units of power or torque can be chosen at
the bottom of the page. The center of the
page is a wireframe view of the vehicle that
illuminates the front and/or rear axle as
each propulsion system is being used. The
brighter the wireframe display the more
power/torque is being provided.

Dyno
While Driving
The Dyno page shows both electric and
engine power/torque in numeric and script
format. This shows the usage over time in
intervals of 15 or 30 seconds, or one or
two minutes. This is the same data as
shown on the gauges page but in a different
viewing format.
While in P (Park) When the car is shifted into P (Park), the
viewing cursor appears to allow the driver
to analyze the data in the viewing time
increment.
The Gauges and Dyno pages include the
Hybrid battery gauge indicating how much
battery charge is present.
Electric power/torque can be either positive
or negative. When electric power is being
provided the gauge shows positive values
and lights up orange. When electric power is
being stored, the gauge shows negative
values and lights up green.
Engine power is only positive and lights up
white.
Data
There are two available screens for the Data
page. Swipe the screen to the left to access
the second screen. See
Using the System
0 120.
The default screen displays the following
facts about the vehicle hybrid performance
and vehicle efficiency saved since the last
reset:
.Charge Gained is the accumulation of
brake and coast regen in units of energy.
.Charge Used is how much energy has
been used to enhance performance or
efficiency.
.Fuel Saved is the charge gained through
regen energy and converted to liters of
fuel saved.
The second screen displays the hybrid vitals,
such as the electric motor power and RPMs,
and hybrid battery and electric motor
temperature.
Settings
The setting menu allows the display to be
shown in preferred unit of metric or English
units.
To access the setting menu from any page
in the Performance app, touch the setting

Driving and Operating 213
Resuming a Set Speed
If cruise control is engaged at a set speed
and then the brakes are applied or
*is
pressed, cruise control is disengaged without
erasing the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle reaches a speed of
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, briefly press the
thumbwheel up to +RES and release it to
engage cruise control at the previous set
speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If cruise control is already engaged:
.Accelerate to the desired cruise speed
using the accelerator pedal. When the
desired higher cruise speed is reached,
briefly press the thumbwheel down to
SET– and release it, and then remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle will now cruise at the higher set
speed.
.Press and hold the thumbwheel up to
+RES until the desired speed is reached,
then release it.
.To increase the vehicle speed in small
increments, briefly press the thumbwheel
up to +RES and release it. For each press,
the vehicle speed increases by about
1 km/h (1 mph). The speedometer reading can be displayed
in either English or metric units. See
Settings
0 142. The increment value used depends on
the units displayed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If cruise control is already engaged:
.Press and hold the thumbwheel down to
SET– until the desired lower speed is
reached, then release it.
.To decrease the vehicle speed in small
increments, briefly press the thumbwheel
down to SET– and release it. For each
press, the vehicle speed decreases by
about 1 km/h (1 mph).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
To pass another vehicle while cruise control
is engaged, use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed. When you
remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previously set speed. While pressing the
accelerator pedal or shortly following the
release to override cruise control, briefly
pressing and releasing the thumbwheel
down to SET– will result in the cruise speed
being set to the current vehicle speed. Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control works on a hill
depends on the vehicle speed, load, and the
steepness of the hill. When going up a steep
hill, you may need to apply the accelerator
pedal to maintain the cruise speed. When
going downhill, you may need to brake or
shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle
speed down. If the brake pedal is applied,
cruise control will disengage.
Cruise Control in Manual Paddle Shift Gear
Selection
When the vehicle is in M (Manual Mode)
and the manual paddle shift controls are not
being used, cruise control operates in the
same manner as D (Drive).
When the vehicle is in M (Manual Mode)
and the manual paddle shift controls are
being used, cruise control operates as
follows:
.If cruise control is engaged and a gear is
selected with the manual paddle shift
controls, the vehicle speed is maintained
in the driver selected gear and will not
automatically upshift or downshift the
transmission while the driver gear
selection is active.
