DRIVE MODES — SRT
Your SRT vehicle is equipped with a SRT Drive
Mode feature. This feature gives the driver con-
trol over the systems in the vehicle which affect
its performance, enabling the driver to tune it
for desired driving scenarios.
NOTE:
Refer to “SR T Drive Modes” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual for further descriptions of
these modes.
Launch Control — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control
system that is designed to allow the driver to
achieve maximum vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a form of traction
control that manages tire slip while launching the
vehicle. This feature is intended for use during race
events on a closed course where consistent quarter
mile (400m) and 0 to 60 (100km/h) times are
desired. The system is not intended to compensate
for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the
race track. Use of this feature in low traction (cold,
wet, gravel, etc.) conditions may results in excess
wheel slip outside this systems control resulting in
an aborted launch.
NOTE:
Launch control is not available within the first
500 miles (804 km) of engine break-in.
Preconditions:
• Launch control should not be used on public
roads. Always check track conditions and the
surrounding area.
• Launch Control should only be used when the
engine and transmission are at operating tem-
perature.
• Launch Control is intended to be used on dry,
paved road surfaces only. Use on slippery or
loose surfaces may cause damage to vehicle
components and is not recommended.
Launch Control is available when the following
procedure is followed:
1. Push the LAUNCH button on the center
stack switch bank.
NOTE:
Pushing the SRT button on the center stack
or pressing Race Options within Drive
Modes, then selecting the Launch Control
tab, followed by the soft, Launch Control
button are two other options to access
launch control features. Please refer to “SRT
Drive Modes” in “Multimedia” in the Own-
er’s Manual, or the “Drive Modes Supple-
ment”, for further information.
2. Push the “Launch RPM Set-Up” button on
the touchscreen. This screen will allow you
to adjust your launch RPM’ s for optimum
launch/traction.
3. Push the “Activate Launch Control” button
on the touchscreen.
4. Make sure the vehicle is not moving.
5. Make sure the steering wheel is pointing
straight.
6. Hold the brake and make sure the vehicle is
in “DRIVE” or “AutoStick” position.
7. While holding the brake, rapidly apply and
hold the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. The engine speed will hold at the
RPM that was set in the “Launch RPM
Set-up” screen.
NOTE:
Messages will appear in the instrument cluster
to inform the driver if one or more of the above
conditions have not been met.
