front and rear wheels to maximize driving
efficiency and improve driving dynamics.
Your vehicle has exceptional driving
capability, but care must always be taken to
adjust driving style to the traffic and road
conditions.
The vehicle eAWD settings may be
customized for the driver mode selected. See
Driver Mode Control0196 for more
information.
Brakes
Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with electric brake boost
have hydraulic brake circuits that are
electronically controlled when the brake
pedal is applied during normal operation.
The system performs routine tests and turns
off within a few minutes after the vehicle is
turned off. Noise may be heard during this
time. If the brake pedal is pressed during
the tests or when the electric brake boost
system is off, a noticeable change in pedal
force and travel may be felt. This is normal.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps
prevent a braking skid and maintain steering
while braking hard.
If there is a problem with ABS, this warning
light stays on. See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light 093.
ABS does not change the time needed to
get a foot on the brake pedal and does not
always decrease stopping distance. If you
get too close to the vehicle ahead, there will
not be enough time to apply the brakes if
that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room ahead to stop, even
with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Hearing and feeling ABS
operate is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows steering and braking at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can
help even more than braking.
Electric Parking Brake
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) can always
be applied, even if the vehicle is off. In case
of insufficient electrical power, the EPB
cannot be applied or released. To prevent
draining the battery, avoid unnecessary
repeated cycles of the EPB.

Caution
Using a stealth engine sound setting
during spirited driving will cause the
exhaust system to overheat and damage
the variable exhaust valves. Do not use
this setting when auto-crossing or driving
on high speed tracks.
If available, engine sound settings change
when the variable exhaust valves open.
Steering (Assist Effort)
Adjusts from a lighter steering feel to
reduced assist for more steering feel.
Magnetic Ride Control
If equipped, this feature adjusts the shock
dampening firmness based on driving
conditions to improve comfort and
performance.
Drive Mode Customization
The vehicle is equipped to modify the
following vehicle settings base on vehicle
content. Through the infotainment home
screen, select Settings > Vehicle > “Drive

210 Driving and Operating
The Launch Control feature initially limits
engine speed as the driver rapidly applies
the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle.
Allow the engine RPMs to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the brake pedal,
while maintaining the fully pressed
accelerator pedal, will manage tire slip and
transmissions clutch. After the vehicle is
launched, the system continues in
Competitive Driving mode or PTM.
Custom Launch Control
If equipped, Custom Launch Control allows
the following parameters for Launch Control
to be modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
Adjusting the Launch RPM will also change
the behavior of the transmission during the
start of the launch. The higher the Launch
RPM, the faster the clutch will be applied
resulting in greater acceleration. This
parameter can be used to match the launch
behavior to the available tire traction. If the
driving wheels spin excessively during the
launch, reduce the Launch RPM. To adjust the Launch RPM, all of these
conditions must be met:
.Competitive Driving mode or any of the
PTM modes are selected (if equipped). See
Driver Mode Control
0196.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The vehicle must be in D (Drive) or
M (Manual mode).
.The parking brake must not be engaged.
1. Using the DIC buttons on the right side
of the steering wheel, navigate to the
performance menu. See Instrument
Cluster 081.
2. Select Launch Control > Custom.
3. Scroll down to Launch RPM.
4. Adjust the desired RPM: 3500, 4000, 4500, 4750, 5000
5. Set Slip Target to custom desired setting.

6. Return to the landing page of LaunchControl. Firmly press and hold the brake
pedal to activate Launch Control.
7. Fully press the accelerator. Release thebrake pedal to launch the vehicle.
Limited-Slip Differential
The standard mechanical limited-slip
differential provides more traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand, or gravel. It works like a
standard axle most of the time, but when traction is low, this feature allows the drive
wheel with the most traction to move the
vehicle. See
Performance Driving 0206 and
Maintenance Schedule 0316.
Stingray, E-Ray, and Z06 Models Only
The Electrical Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD)
located on the rear axle is a hydraulically
actuated clutch system. It can infinitely vary
the clutch engagement between 0 and
2250 N*m (1659 lb-ft) of breakaway torque
between the rear wheels. When necessary it
responds from open to full engagement in
fractions of a second. Smaller clutch
adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
.Uses the vehicle sensors and driver inputs
to determine the optimum amount of
clutch engagement for the conditions.
.Improves traction while cornering by
changing the engagement to achieve a
balance between directional control and
acceleration.
.Provides optimal engagement for
high-speed control and stability without
affecting precise steering and turn-in.
.Improves vehicle stability during spirited
driving and evasive maneuvers. It is fully
integrated with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
systems (if equipped).
There are unique calibrations based on the
Traction Control System (TCS) setting. eLSD
modes change automatically when the
traction control button is pressed. No unique
input from the driver is required.
.Mode 1 is the standard mode when the
vehicle is started. It provides a touring
calibration with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in PTM
Wet mode.
.Mode 2 is engaged when both TCS and
StabiliTrak are turned off. This calibration
provides more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners.
.Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is engaged
in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and Race modes. This
is a nimble calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2, however, it
is integrated to work with PTM.
.Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is selected
off, but StabiliTrak remains on. Vehicle
stability is still the priority, while allowing
for optimized traction out of corners.

212 Driving and Operating
Cruise Control
Cruise control allows the vehicle to maintain
a constant speed without keeping your foot
on the accelerator pedal at speeds of about
40 km/h (25 mph) or above. Cruise control
does not work at speeds below about
40 km/h (25 mph).
{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.
Cruise control will disengage if:
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system activates to limit wheel spin.
See Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0194.
.TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
.The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, cruise control can be turned
back on.
For E-Ray models, cruise control is not
available in Shuttle Mode or Stealth Mode.
See Driver Mode Control 0196.

220 Driving and Operating
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC.
Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both alerts will
vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will
occur. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert timing.
The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving vehicle
ahead in your path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle ahead is out
of sensor range, dashes will be displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system may help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end crashes. AEB
also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
your path that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may automatically brake moderately or hard.
Always wear a seat belt and ensure that all
passengers are properly restrained. This
automatic emergency braking can only occur
if a vehicle is detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator being lit. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System
0218.
The system works when driving in a forward
gear between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 135 km/h
(84 mph). It can detect vehicles up to
approximately 60 m (197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB to brake the
vehicle. AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only responds
to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on winding or
hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles
with a trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc. (Continued)

226 Driving and Operating
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a towed
trailer crosses into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or property damage
may occur if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always monitor the trailer
position while towing to make sure it is
within the same lane as the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor installed on the
windshield ahead of the rearview mirror to
detect lane markings. It may provide brief
steering assist if it detects an unintended
lane departure. It may further provide an
audible alert or the driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking has been
crossed. The system does not provide an
LDW when intentionally steering across a
lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
Aon the
overhead console. If equipped, the indicator
light on the button comes on when LKA is
on and turns off when LKA is disabled. In
some vehicles, you must press the button
for more than three seconds to turn LKA off. When attempting to enable LKA in any of
the above conditions, LKA UNAVAILABLE will
display.
When on,
Ais white, if equipped,
indicating that the system is not ready to
assist.
Ais green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking.
Ais amber when
assisting. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert by flashing
Aamber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat may
pulse three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not continuously steer
the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and chime may be
provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
.Sudden lighting changes, such as when
driving through tunnels.
.Banked roads.
.Roads with poor lane markings, such as
two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are clearly
visible, cleaning the windshield may help.
A camera blocked message may display if
the camera is blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have reduced
performance or not work at all. An LKA or
LDW unavailable message may display if the
systems are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked camera.
The LKA system does not need service. Clean
the outside of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts may occur
due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or construction lane
markings, or other road imperfections. This
