Launch Control
The Launch Control strategy permits high-performance
acceleration from stand still.
This strategy can be activated with vehicle at a stand-
still, Race mode selected and FIRST (1st) gear engaged.
The sequence of operations to perform is as follows:
1. Press the brake pedal and hold it down.
2. Press the accelerator pedal and hold it down.
3. Press the paddle behind the steering wheel. (This
allows the engine to rev above the 3000 RPM limit.)
When the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will start
with maximum acceleration. Despite the MANUAL
mode, the vehicle will automatically shift the gear to
guarantee maximum acceleration, once the correct shift-
ing speed has been reached.
WARNING!
Launch Control is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only and should not be used on any
public roadways. Use Launch Control only in a
controlled and dry track environment; within the
limits of the law. Actual Launch Control perfor-
mance may change depending on the surface and
current traction conditions. The capabilities of the
vehicle as measured by the performance pages must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner, which can jeopardize the users safety or the
safety of others. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
To discontinue the strategy, simply interrupt the above
sequence of operations or release the accelerator pedal.
SPEED CONTROL IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Speed Control takes over accelera-
tor operations at speeds greater than 18 mph (30 km/h),
up to the maximum speed of 105 mph (170 km/h).
The Speed Control Lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
