NOTE:
Messages will appear in the instrument cluster dis-
play to inform the driver if one or more of the above
conditions have not been met.
4. When the above conditions have been met, the
instrument cluster display will read “Release Brake”.
5. Keep the vehicle pointed straight.
Launch control will be active until the vehicle reaches
62 mph (100 km/h), at which point the Electronic Sta-
bility Control (ESC) system will return to its current ESC
mode.
Launch Control will abort before launch completion and
display a "Launch Aborted" message in the instrument
cluster when any of the following occur:
•
The accelerator pedal is released during launch.
•
The ESC system detects that the vehicle is no longer
moving in a straight line.
•
The ESC OFF button is pressed to change the sys-
tem to another mode.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to shift when the drive wheels are
spinning and do not have traction. Damage to the
transmission may occur.
TORQUE RESERVE — IF EQUIPPED
Torque Reserve is automatically enabled in Brake
Torque Launch and Launch Control to reduce the time
required for the intake manifold to fill with air. Torque
Reserve opens the throttle delivering excess air. Torque
is controlled during this time by shutting fuel off to mul-
tiple cylinders and retarding spark as necessary, hold-
ing the potential torque in reserve. As soon as the driver
launches the car, fuel flow is restored and spark is
advanced to instantaneously deliver the reserve torque.
For a given launch engine speed, additional torque is
delivered more quickly than is possible with manual
control.
In Brake Torque Launch, the magnitude of reserve pro-
duced depends on the driver's pedal torque request. In
Launch Control, the reserve magnitude depends on the
engine launch speed selected in the Race Options
menu.
Due to the way the engine is controlled during Torque
Reserve, a distinct exhaust note is generated and
engine vibration increases.
Brake Torque Launch with Torque
Reserve
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Torque Launch
with Torque Reserve that is designed to allow the driver
to achieve maximum vehicle acceleration in a straight
line. This feature is intended for use during race events
on a closed course where consistent quarter mile (time)
and 0 to 60 (time) are desired. The Brake Torque
Launch with Torque Reserve feature is designed to
allow the driver to launch the vehicle with the benefit of
Torque Reserve, while maintaining control of the engine
speed during staging and the profile of the torque deliv-
ered when launching. This feature is intended for use
during race events on a closed course when additional
launch torque is 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 result in excess
wheel slip outside this system control resulting in an
aborted launch.
Initial Conditions:
•
Make sure the vehicle is not moving
•
Put vehicle in Drive
•
Steering wheel must be centered with tires pointing
forward
•
Vehicle must be on level ground
•
Vehicle at normal operating conditions
•
Launch Mode not active
•
Drive mode switch is in AUTO, SPORT, TRACK or
CUSTOM
○ In Custom mode, the All-Wheel Drive mode must
not be 50/50
•
Apply adequate brake pressure with left foot
•
Apply a steady throttle with the right foot to achieve
a desired engine speed above 1,350 RPM
•
To launch, remove left foot from brake pedal while
maintaining or increasing throttle to launch with
right foot
NOTE:
Brake Torque Launch will abort if the engine speed
drops below 1,000 RPM, throttle is released or 10 sec-
onds have elapsed while in Torque Reserve. Brake
Torque Launch is not recommended within the first
500 miles (805 km) of engine break-in.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to shift when the drive wheels are
spinning and do not have traction. Damage to the
transmission may occur.
