Chevrolet Corvette 2021 - Cruise Control; Setting Cruise Control

Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

Driving and Operating 217
while maintaining the fully pressed
accelerator pedal, will manage tire slip and
transmissions clutch. After the vehicle is
launched, the system continues in
Competitive Driving Mode or PTM.
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and Launch
Control are systems designed for a closed
course race track and not intended for use
on public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with the race track.
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period should be
completed before using the launch
control feature, otherwise performance
will be limited and damage may occur to
the powertrain/engine. See New Vehicle
Break-In 0 190.
Limited-Slip Differential
(without Z51)
The mechanical limited-slip differential can
give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand,
or gravel. It works like a standard axle most
of the time, but when traction is low, this
feature allows the drive wheel with the
most traction to move the vehicle. See
Competitive Driving Mode 0 214 and
Maintenance Schedule 0 293.
Limited-Slip Differential (with Z51)
The Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD)
is a hydraulically actuated clutch system
inside the transaxle. It can infinitely vary
the clutch engagement between 0 and
2250 N*m (1659 lb-ft) of breakaway torque
between the rear wheels. When necessary it
responds from open to full engagement in
fractions of a second. Smaller clutch
adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
.
Uses the vehicle sensors and driver inputs
to determine the optimum amount of
clutch engagement for the conditions.
.
Improves traction while cornering by
changing the engagement to achieve a
balance between directional control and
acceleration.
.
Provides optimal engagement for
high-speed control and stability without
affecting precise steering and turn-in.
.
Improves vehicle stability during spirited
driving and evasive maneuvers. It is fully
integrated with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
systems (if equipped).
There are unique calibrations based on the
Traction Control System (TCS) setting. eLSD
modes change automatically when the
traction control button is pressed. No unique
input from the driver is required.
.
Mode 1 is the standard mode when the
vehicle is started. It provides a touring
calibration with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in PTM
Wet mode.
.
Mode 2 is engaged when both TCS and
StabiliTrak are turned off. This calibration
provides more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners.
.
Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is engaged
in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and Race modes. This
is a nimble calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2, however, it
is integrated to work with PTM.
.
Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is selected
off, but StabiliTrak remains on. Vehicle
stability is still the priority, while allowing
for optimized traction out of corners.
