vides a firm suspension for better handling.

Launch Control— If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Con-
trol 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 in-
tended for use during race events on a closed
course where consistent quarter mile and
zero to sixty 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 result-
ing in an aborted launch.
Preconditions:
Launch Control should not be used on pub-
lic roads. Always check track conditions
and the surrounding area.
Launch Control is not available within the
first 500 miles (805 km) of engine break-
in.
Launch Control should only be used when
the engine and transmission are at operat-
ing temperature.
Launch Control is intended to be used on
dry, paved road surfaces only.
CAUTION!
Use on slippery or loose surfaces may
cause damage to vehicle components and
is not recommended.
Launch Control is only available when the
following procedure is followed:
NOTE:
Pushing the SRT button on the Select-Track
switch or pressing the “Apps” button on the
touchscreen are the two options to access
launch control features. Please refer to “SRT

er’s Manual for further information.
