Launch Control (Sport and
Track Mode Only)
A Launch Control feature is
available, within Competitive Driving
Mode or PTM, on all vehicles to
allow the driver to achieve high
levels of vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a
form of TCS that manages tire spin,
and transmissions clutch, while
launching the vehicle. This feature
is intended for use during closed
course race events where
consistent zero to 60 and quarter
mile times are desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.
Competitive Driving Mode or any
of the PTM Modes are selected
(if equipped).
.
The vehicle is not moving.
.
The wheels and steering wheel
are pointing straight.
Launching the Vehicle
.
Ensure the vehicle is in
Competitive Driving Mode or any
of the PTM modes.
.
The brake pedal must be firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent
to a panic brake event.
.
While maintaining the brake
pedal, the accelerator pedal is
rapidly applied to wide open
throttle. (If the vehicle rolls due
to wide open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal
more firmly, and re-apply the
accelerator to wide open
throttle.)
The Launch Control feature will
initially limit engine speed as the
driver rapidly applies the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow
the engine rpm’s to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the
brake pedal, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage tire slip and transmissions
