Driving and Operating 191
Standard Exit :Engine power is reapplied to
the wheels gently to support normal vehicle
operation on public roads. This occurs when
paddles are released under any of the these
conditions:
.Accelerator pedal is fully released
.Vehicle speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph)
.Vehicle is in R (Reverse)
.Paddles are released separately
If the vehicle was in Temporary Manual
Paddle Shift mode before entering Double
Paddle Declutch, the vehicle will return to
D (Drive) with automatic shifting upon
exiting Double Paddle Declutch.
Rapid Exit : This is intended for use at a
closed course race track and not on public
roads. Engine power is reapplied to the
wheels quickly to support spirited driving.
The rate of launch is dependent on how
much the accelerator pedal is pressed when
the paddles are released. The further the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the greater the
rate of launch. Tire spin may occur if the
Traction Control System (TCS) is turned off
while performing a Rapid Exit. Rapid Exit
launch occurs when all of the following
conditions are met:
.Vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph)
.Vehicle is in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode)
.Both paddles are released at the
same time
With the accelerator fully pressed and the
engine at the rev limiter, peak performance
only occurs if the paddles are released
within a short period of time after reaching
the rev limit (i.e., a few seconds).
Manual Launch : While the vehicle is in
Double Paddle Declutch, Manual Launch can
be activated to gain more precise control
over the engine speed to prepare for a
Standard or Rapid Exit. To activate this
feature, first enter Double Paddle Declutch,
then release and repull either the + paddle
or −paddle while keeping the opposite
paddle held. The Performance Transmission
Active Light will illuminate in the gauge
cluster to indicate that Manual Launch has
been activated. See Performance
Transmission Active 093. When Manual
Launch is active, the engine will respond
differently when the accelerator pedal is
pressed compared to normal Double Paddle
Declutch. The accelerator pedal must be
pressed further to increase the engine rpm
and a lower engine rpm limit will be
applied. This feature also provides faster engine response during a Rapid Exit if any
of the Performance Traction Management
(PTM) modes or Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Off has been selected. To exit Manual
Launch, release both the + paddle and
−
paddle. The vehicle will also exit Double
Paddle Declutch and the engine will
reconnect to the wheels. A Standard Exit or
Rapid Exit will be performed based on the
same conditions listed previously.
{Warning
When exiting Double Paddle Declutch, the
vehicle may move rapidly. You could lose
control and cause a crash with nearby
people or objects. Be ready to release the
accelerator pedal or apply the brakes
immediately if the vehicle moves too
quickly. Do not use the Double Paddle
Declutch when people or objects are near.
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
If equipped with E-Ray, advanced electric
All-Wheel Drive (eAWD) delivers power to all
four wheels and adjusts automatically to the
driving conditions. The eAWD system
continuously varies the drive power to the

198 Driving and Operating
Mode Description
uWeather :Used for slippery surfaces to
help control wheel speed. This can
compromise the acceleration on dry asphalt.
This feature is not intended for use when
the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice, snow,
or gravel. If the vehicle becomes stuck, see If
the Vehicle Is Stuck 0173. See “Driver Mode
Attributes,” later in this section.
sTour :Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth, soft ride. This
setting provides a balanced setting between
comfort and handling. This is the standard
mode. See “Driver Mode Attributes,” later in
this section.
rSport : Use when road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response. When this mode is
selected, the vehicle will immediately
downshift. The steering will change to
provide more precise control. If the vehicle
has Magnetic Ride Control, the suspension
will change to provide better cornering
performance.
Competitive mode can be accessed through
this mode. See Performance Driving 0206.
tTrack : Use for closed race tracks. Use
when maximum vehicle handling is desired.
When in Track mode, the dual clutch
transmission and steering will adjust to
track settings. In this mode the vehicle also
monitors driving behaviors and
automatically enables Performance Shift
features when spirited driving is detected.
These features maintain lower transmission
gears to increase available engine braking
and improve acceleration response. The
vehicle will exit this feature and return to
normal operation after a short time when
spirited driving is no longer detected.
If equipped, this mode also modifies real
time damping, exhaust valve tuning, engine
sound, brake pedal feel, Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) performance and Traction
Control System (TCS) performance.
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
can be accessed through this mode. See
“Performance Traction Management,” later
in this section.
qMy Mode : Use to personalize everyday
driving. This mode allows the driver to
configure the driver systems to their driving
preferences. This mode modifies the suspension, steering, brake feel, and engine
sound. My mode will remain active across
ignition cycles.
Through the center display, the following
vehicle subsystems may be available for
customization in this mode:
Engine Sound:
Stealth, Tour, Sport, Track
Steering: Tour, Sport, Track
Suspension: Tour, Sport, Track
Brake Feel: Tour, Sport, Track
For a more detailed description on how each
driver system is changed, see “Drive Mode
Customization,” later in this section.
Additionally the cluster theme can be set up
using the display menu in the cluster.
vMode : Use to personalize dynamic
driving. This mode allows the driver to
configure the driver systems to their own
preference for maximum handling. Z-mode
further enhances the experience by adding
powertrain customization. This mode
modifies Engine/Shift, Brake Feel, Steering,
Suspension, Engine Sound, and, Performance
Traction Management, if equipped.

Cluster Display
For more information on the display themes
of the Drive modes on the instrument
cluster, seeInstrument Cluster 081 >
Options > Display themes.
Throttle Progression
Adjusts throttle sensitivity by selecting how
quickly or slowly the throttle reacts to
input.
Throttle Progression is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.
Transmission Shift Operation
Basic:
.Transmission upshifts and downshifts are
selected based on vehicle speed and
accelerator position to optimize comfort
and fuel economy during mild driving
conditions.
Driver Influenced Gear Selection:
.Aggressive driving will influence both the
upshift and downshift points in all modes.
When engaged, the Performance
Transmission Active light displays. See
Performance Transmission Active 093.
When Performance Transmission is
activated from a standstill, by selecting PTM Race 1 or Race 2, the transmission
shift map is in the most aggressive state
where upshifts are only achieved at high
revolutions per minute (rpm), downshifts
happen early, and the lowest gear is
selected for cornering. Transmission
behavior will transition to a level
appropriate to the current driving
behavior after a short period of time.
If PTM Race 1 or Race 2 are not selected,
the Performance Transmission Active
behavior still activates automatically after
a sustained period of performance driving
is detected. See
“Performance Traction
Management (PTM)” later on in this
section.
.Criteria which have influence are: driving
mode, accelerator, brakes, lateral, and
longitudinal loading.
.Changes in gear selection behavior due to
aggressive driving can include:
‐ Downshifting early with higher rpm’s
during aggressive braking (i.e. entering
a corner)
‐ Altering upshifts while experiencing
lateral acceleration
‐ Not upshifting when the accelerator is
released to avoid unnecessary shifts if
the accelerator is re-applied ‐
Recognizing sporty driving and
anticipating upcoming corners with the
appropriate gear selection entering and
exiting
.Driver Modes
‐Driver influenced changes are effective
in all driving modes, however the
aggressiveness of the transmission
response will increase between Tour,
Sport, and Track modes respectively.
Active Fuel Management (Engine Cylinder
Shuts Off)
If equipped with Active Fuel Management
(AFM), the engine uses driver demand to
deactivate cylinders to improve fuel
performance. When accelerating, V8 mode is
prevalent. For lighter throttle applications,
the system may disable cylinders to run in
4-cylinder mode to save fuel.
Active Fuel Management is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.

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.

17272984) - 2024 - CRC - 2/20/23
214 Driving and Operating
.If driving in hilly terrain, cruise control
may not be able to maintain vehicle
speed if an upshift or downshift is not
selected by the driver. While driving on
hilly terrain and cruise control is engaged
with a manual paddle shift gear selection,
the driver must select the proper gear for
the terrain or shift into D (Drive) for fully
automatic transmission operation. See
Manual Mode0187.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
.Lightly apply the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.Press1.
.Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
1is pressed or when the vehicle
is turned off.

Vehicle Care 301
Jump Starting Procedure (All Models)
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
a vehicle that has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the
vehicles are not touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would
not be able to start the vehicle, and the
bad grounding could damage the
electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles
rolling, set the parking brake firmly on
both vehicles involved in the jump start
procedure. Put an automatic transmission
in P (Park) or a manual transmission in
Neutral before setting the parking
brakes.
Caution
If any accessories are left on or plugged
in during the jump starting procedure,
they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn off or
unplug all accessories on either vehicle
when jump starting.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged
into the accessory power outlet. Turn off
the radio and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries. And it could save
the radio!
4. Open the hood. See Hood017.
5. Release the four clips for the left and
right outer covers.
6. Release the five clips and remove theouter cover to access the battery.
